Reactions with deuterons within the CDCC formalism

The continuum discretized coupled channels (CDCC) method is applied to $(d\,,\,p)$ and $(p\,,\,d)$ reactions populating bound states of rare isotopes to better understand the role of the continuum. As a first example, we study the elastic and breakup channels in $^{10}Be\,(d\,,\,p)\,^{11}Be$ at low and intermediate energies. The deuteron incoming wave function is modeled as an effective three-body problem $p\,+\,n\,+\,^{10}Be$ and expanded using the CDCC method. The role of the deuteron spin and the $p\,-\,n$ interaction is investigated. The inverse reaction $^{11}Be\,(p\,,\,d)\,^{10}Be$ is also considered. Finally, a comparison to elastic scattering, breakup and transfer of deuterons on $^{12}C$ at similar energies is made.
