Neutron Transfer to the Continuum Reactions

In this contribution we show that the theory of neutron transfer to the continuum reactions is an useful tool to study different characteristics of the single particle structure of nuclei. In one example we discuss properties of the single particle resonances in $^{208}Pb$. Another interesting application deals with the neutron breakup from weakly bound nuclei. Here one can use the theoretical calculations to help establishing the angular momentum of the decaying state which is experimentally not known.
