Three-body dN interaction in the analysis of the 12C(d→,d′) reaction at 270 MeV

Abstract We have measured the cross sections and analyzing powers A y and A yy for the elastic and inelastic scattering of deuterons from the 0 + (g.s.), 2 + (4.44 MeV), 3 − (9.64 MeV), 1 + (12.71 MeV), and 2 − (18.3 MeV) states in 12 C at an incident energy of 270 MeV. The data are compared with microscopic distorted-wave impulse approximation calculations where the projectile-nucleon effective interaction is taken from the three-nucleon t -matrix given by rigorous Faddeev calculations presently available at intermediate energies. The agreement between theory and data compares well with that for the ( p , p ′) reactions at comparable incident energies/nucleon.
