Differential cross sections for the 17O(p, d 0) 16O reaction have been measured at the incident proton energies 8.62, 9.56, 10.5, 11.16 and 11.44 MeV. Both the BHMM and DWBA theories have been applied to these data, and to published analysing power data for the reactions 16O(d, p 0) 17O and 16O(d, p 1) 17O ∗. While some parameter adjustment is necessary to obtain good fits with the BHMM theory, the adjusted parameters produce predictions in good agreement with analysing power data. The DWBA theory, however, produces good fits with proton parameters deduced from measurements of proton elastic scattering from 17O, provided the deuteron parameters used give good predictions for both differential cross section and vector analysing power data for the reaction 16O(d, d 0) 16O.
