Abstract

The elastic and inelastic scattering of 15 MeV polarized deuterons from 48Ca, 63Cu, 88Sr, 90Zr, 92Zr, and 92Mo has been investigated. Angular distributions of the cross section and vector analyzing power iT11 have been measured for all these nuclei; the tensor analyzing powers T20 and T22 have been studied for 92Zr. Cross sections and vector analyzing powers are generally well explained by the optical model for elastic scattering and by the DWBA with a macroscopic form factor for the inelastic scattering; this is consistent with previous work. Distributions for 48Ca, however, are poorly fitted. Anomalous behavior of the N = 50 nuclei found in the inelastic scattering of polarized protons is not present for deuterons. Tensor analyzing powers are not well explained by standard procedures: use of approximate folding model optical parameters did not improve the fits. The distribution of iT11 for the 12 state in 63Cu is significantly different from the distributions for the 52 and 72 states.
