Abstract: Within the framework of eikonal approximation and the double folding model, a formalism for calculating the angular dependencies of nucleon polarizations arising in two-nucleon transfer reactions is proposed. The polarizations of protons from (3He, p) reactions on 7Li, 9Be, and 12C targets with residual nuclei in the ground state at an incident particle energy of 33 MeV are described. The calculated polarization values satisfactorily fit the corresponding experimental data.

Keywords: inclusive reaction, eikonal approximation, double folding model.
