  We have measured the cross sections and analyzing powers Ay and Ayy for the
elastic and inelastic scattering of deuterons from the 0+(g.s.), 2+(4.44 MeV),
3-(9.64 MeV), 1+(12.71 MeV), and 2-(18.3 MeV) states in 12C at an incident
energy of 270 MeV. The data are compared with microscopic distorted-wave
impulse approximation calculations where the projectile-nucleon effective
interactionis taken from the three-nucleon t-matrix given by rigorous Faddeev
calculations presently available at intermediate energies. The agreement
between theory and data compares well with that for the (p,p') reactions at
comparable incident energies/nucleon.
