The 7Li(d, p)8Li reaction in inverse kinematics at 5.44 MeV/u

New data are presented for the7Li(d, p)8Li stripping reaction which, together with previously reported elastic scattering data taken in the same experiment, provide a coherent set. These data, plus existing measurements of the elastic scattering and stripping at 6MeV/u were analysed within the same coupled reaction channels scheme. Good descriptions of the stripping data to the 0.0MeV 2+and 0.98MeV 1+states of8Li were obtained using a set of 〈 ^8Li| ^7Li + n〉 overlaps taken from the literature, provided that the elastic scattering was also well described. Multi-step reaction paths made significant contributions to the description of the larger angle data. The asymptotic normalisation coefficients are compared with previous determinations.
