The goal of this work is to establish on firm grounds a theory for deuteron induced neutron capture reactions. This includes formulating elastic and inelastic breakup in a consistent manner. We describe this process both in post and prior form distorted wave Born approximation, and we apply our method to the 53Nb(d,p)X at Ed =15 MeV and 25 MeV, obtaining a good description of the data. We look at the various partial wave contributions, as well as elastic versus inelastic contributions. We also connect our formulation with transfer to neutron bound states.
