Recently measured neutron-proton angular correlations in the deuteron-induced breakup reactions at 56 MeV incident energy have been analyzed in terms of the post form distorted-wave Born approximation theory of breakup reactions. Comparison of the present results is made with those of the prior form distorted-wave Born approximation calculations. It is found that the results of the post form distorted-wave Born approximation calculations are in better agreement with the experimental data than the prior form distorted-wave Born approximation results.
