Abstract

Three-body calculations of (d,p) and (p,d) reactions involving one-neutron halo nuclei 11Be and 15C are performed using the framework of Faddeev-type scattering equations. Important effects of the optical potential nonlocality are found improving the description of the experimental data. The obtained values for the neutron spectroscopic factor are consistent with estimations from other approaches.
