The global OM potentials obtained from systematic analysis of (p,d) and (d,p) transfer reactions at low-energy do not seem to work at higher energy. Work on extraction of the neutron and proton SF from the higher-energy data, as well as a consistent framework for comparison to the low-energy results, is in progress.

56Ni: An alluring nucleus 56Ni is outside the valley of stability and is doubly magic according to the Independent Particle Model (IPM)
In the shell model, the magic number 28 is the first shell that requires the introduction of a strong spin-orbit interaction
56Fe is the most abundant heavy element in the universe, yet 56Ni is the first doubly-magic nucleus that is not stable
56Ni is a “waiting point” nucleus in the astrophysical rapid proton (rp) capture process
Understanding the shell structure of this doubly-magic, N=Z=28 nickel nucleus is therefore of considerable interest for both nuclear structure and astrophysics
Study nucleon transfer reactions in inverse kinematics:
56Ni(p,d)55Ni at 37 MeV/A and 80 MeV/A to extract the neutron spectroscopic factor of 56Ni and also its energy dependence
56Ni(d,3He)55Co at 80 MeV/A to extract the proton spectroscopic factor of 56Ni
These two reactions allow us to compare the neutron and proton SF in the f7/2 shell
Extracted spectroscopic factors are important benchmarks in evaluating different pf-shell model interactions that may be used to predict the structure of 78Ni, a major waiting point in the path of the r-process.
Goal of experimental study
Ground-state neutron SF of Ni isotopes
Measurement of the SF is essential in calibrating the theoretical shell model of the nucleus.
Two possible shell structures of 56Ni:
Inert core of 56Ni with 28 protons and 28
neutrons inside
Inert core of 40Ca with 8 protons and 8 neutrons
outside

Summary
Implications: 56Ni is not a good core Accurate description of Ni isotopes requires full model space
with 40Ca core. GXPF1A describes the data better than K3B interactions
Reaction Model:
(d/d)RM calculated from 3-body model with global optical potentials and standard geometry of n-wave functions.

Single-nucleon transfer reactions are a powerful tool to study single particle states.
Spectroscopic Factor (SF) quantifies the nature and
occupancy of the single particle orbits in a nucleus.
SF provides information on nuclear structure and is a key input for
astrophysics calculations.

SF is extracted by matching the magnitude of the calculated cross section to the data
The value SFexp = 7 was determined for the f7/2 neutron from data at 37 MeV/A
