65Cu,~~~Cd(d, P) reaction cross sections in the continuum. regions have been measured for deuteron energies 9, 10.5, and 12 MeV. They are compared to a theoretical calculation in which the spectroscopic factors of usual (d, p) reaction calculations for nuclear states are replaced by the strength distributions for different single neutron configurations. These distributions are Gaussian curves centered at single neutron orbits with widths proportional to their excitation energies. Good agreement is found for angular distributions and incident deuteron energy dependences, although the predicted absolute cross sections are about 50% higher than the measurements.Uncertainties in the calculations are discussed.
