The Perey-effect in two-body channels of $(d,p)$ reactions has been known for a long time. It arises when the nonlocal two-body deuteron-target and/or proton-target problem is approximated by a local one, manifesting itself in a reduction…
Background: Microscopic description of the projectile, based on an effective NN interaction, in a microscopic CDCC (MCDCC) model [PRL 111, 082701 (2013)] has been successfully applied to the 7Li+208Pb scattering. Purpose: The MCDCC method…
