Adiabatic versus Faddeev for (d,p) and (p,d) reactions
Abstract
The finite range adiabatic wave approximation provides a practical method to analyze (d,p) or (p,d) reactions, however until now the level of accuracy obtained in the description of the reaction dynamics has not been determined. In this work, we perform a systematic comparison between the finite range adiabatic wave approximation and the exact Faddeev method. We include studies of 11Be(p,d)10Be(g.s.) at Ep=5, 10 and 35 MeV; 12C(d,p)13C(g.s.) at Ed=7, 12 and 56 MeV and 48Ca(d,p)49Ca(g.s.) at Ed=19, 56 and 100 MeV. Results show that the two methods agree within ≈ 5% for a range of beam energies (Ed ≈ 20-40 MeV) but differences increase significantly for very low energies and for the highest energies. Our tests show that ADWA agrees best with Faddeev when the angular momentum transfer is small l=0 and when the neutron-nucleus system is loosely bound.
