Transfer reactions are an important spectroscopic tool for astrophysics and nuclear structure. Measurements from transfer reactions probe spectroscopic quantities such as single-particle excitation energies, angular momentum and spectroscopic factors. Neutron transfer reactions on neutron-rich nuclei is important to astrophysics because these nuclei lie along the r-process path. Population of excited states through neutron transfer has the potential for γ-ray cascades to the ground state or isomeric states. Therefore, γ-ray-proton coincidence measurements can give improvement over detecting protons alone. First, energy resolution is enhanced with Ge γ-ray detectors by an order of magnitude. Second, information can be extracted on spectroscopic strengths of states not seen in proton spectra, but evident in γ-ray cascades. Finally, γ-ray tagging can reduce background effects and contamination. A program at the HRIBF at ORNL is focused on doing (d,pγ) measurements in inverse kinematics. Progress of the (d,pγ) program will be presented.
