Abstract

The tensor analyzing power of ( $d, p$ ) transitions on ${}^{9}{Be}$ , ${}^{12}C$ , ${}^{16}O$ , ${}^{19}F$ , ${}^{25}{Mg}$ , ${}^{28}{Si}$ , and ${}^{40}{Ca}$ was measured at $E_{d} = 12.3$ MeV for $θ_{lab} = 0 - 50^{\circ}$ . The reactions studied included orbital angular-momentum transfers $l = 0, 1, 2, 3$ . Large values of $T_{20}$ were observed, negative near 0° for most transitions. Distorted-wave calculations show agreement with the data only when a $D$ -state contribution is included in the deuteron internal wave function.
