This description required a rather different deuteron potential from that obtained by fitting elastic-scattering data which implies that the distorted-wave theory is not strictly valid. If the deuteron parameters are essentially the same for each transition, the angular distributions for J = 1 2 and J = 3 2 levels are systematically different at backward angles, and the difference is a consequence of the deuteron and proton spin-orbit interactions. The Lee-Schiffer rule may be interpreted in this manner. The transition to the 1.895 MeV level in 51Cr is found to violate the j-dependence rule probably because of unusually large corrections occurring in this case.11en1969-09-0810.1016/0375-9474(69)91069-04243484057
