Improved description of ^(34,36,46)Ar(p,d) transfer reactions

An improved description of single neutron stripping from $^{34,36,46}$Ar beams at 33 MeV/nucleon by a hydrogen target is presented and the dependence on the neutron-proton asymmetry of the spectroscopic factors is further investigated. A finite range adiabatic model is used in the analysis and compared to previous zero range and local energy approximations. Full three-body Faddeev calculations are performed to estimate the error in the reaction theory. In addition, errors from the optical potentials are also evaluated. From our new spectroscopic factors extracted from transfer, it is possible to corroborate the neutron-proton asymmetry dependence reported from knockout measurements.
