ABSTRACT: The observed angular distribution data of deuteron elastic and inelastic scattering from 58Ni at 170 MeV, 70,72Ge, 90Zr, 116Sn at 171 MeV and 208Pb at 86 MeV are analyzed within the optical model framework. The real and imaginary parts of the optical potentials were calculated using the double folding procedure with a B3Y-Fetal effective interaction. The obtained potentials are fitted with appropriate Woods-Saxon form factors and introduced into the DWUCK4 code to calculate the inelastic scattering cross sections. The calculated cross-sections are found to be in good agreement with experimental data. A satisfactory fit of the angular distribution data of the theoretical calculation to experimental data was achieved in both the elastic and inelastic channels.
