There is an increasing interest in studying transfer reactions to probe the nuclear structure of exotic nuclei. For these loosely bound systems, the role of the continuum needs to be well understood. In this study, we concentrate on (p,d) and (d,p) reactions and compare two formulations for the transfer process that take into account breakup...

The elastic scattering of the halo nucleus 6 He from a proton target at 717 MeV/nucleon is investigated within three different multiple-scattering formulations of the total transition amplitude. The factorized impulse approximation (FIA) and the fixed scatterer approximation (FSA) of the multiple-scattering expansion are used to evaluate...
