Coulomb distorted nuclear matrix elements in momentum space. II. Computational aspects

$(d,p)$ reactions are an important tool to reveal nuclear structure. In order to treat elastic scattering, transfer and breakup reactions on the same footing, it is advantageous to view a $(d,p)$ reaction as three-body problem $p+n+A$ within a Faddeev framework. In order to test a new Faddeev based approach that exactly includes the Coulomb interaction [1] and is valid for light as well as heavy nuclei, as first step Coulomb distorted nuclear matrix elments are calculated. Numerical aspects are explicitly discussed, and results for a variety of nuclei (including $^{208}$Pb) will be presented using separable nuclear optical potentials as input.\\[4pt] [1] A.M.
