Abstract

We test microscopic global optical potential in three-body calculations of deuteron-nucleus scattering. We solve Faddeev-type equations for three-body transition operators. We calculate differential cross section and analyzing power for the deuteron elastic scattering and breakup in collisions with ${}^{12}$C, ${}^{16}$O and ${}^{24}$Mg nuclei, and find a reasonable agreement with available experimental data. Comparison with respective predictions using phenomenological optical potentials reveals systematic deviations in particular kinematic regimes.
