Title: Modeling multi-nucleon transfer in symmetric collisions of massive nuclei

Abstract

We propose symmetric collisions of massive nuclei, such as ²³⁸U + ²⁴⁸Cm, as ways to make new n-rich heavy nuclei via multi-nucleon transfer (MNT) reactions. We have measured the yields of several projectile-like and target-like fragments from the reaction of 1360 MeV ²⁰⁴Hg + ¹⁹⁸Pt. We also find that current models for this symmetric collision (GRAZING, DNS, ImQMD) significantly underestimate the yields of these transfer products, even for small transfers.

Modeling multi-nucleon transfer in symmetric collisions of massive nuclei

Journal Article Welsh, T. ; Loveland, W. ; Yanez, R. ; ... - Physics Letters. B

Symmetric collisions of massive nuclei, such as U-238 + Cm-248, have been proposed as ways to make new n-rich heavy nuclei via multi-nucleon transfer (MNT) reactions. We have measured the yields of several projectile-like and target-like fragments from the reaction of 1360 MeV Hg-204 + Pt-198. We find that current models for this symmetric collision (GRAZING, DNS, ImQMD) significantly underestimate the yields of these transfer products, even for small transfers. (C) 2017 The Author(s).

Multinucleon transfer in the interaction of 977 MeV and 1143 MeV ${}^{204}{Hg}$ with ${}^{208}{Pb}$

Journal Article Desai, V. V. ; Pica, A. ; Loveland, W. ; ... - Physical Review C

A previous study of symmetric collisions of massive nuclei has shown that current models of multinucleon transfer (MNT) reactions do not adequately describe the transfer product yields. To gain further insight into this problem, we have measured the yields of MNT products in the interaction of 977 (E/A = 4.79 MeV) and 1143 MeV (E/A = 5.60 MeV) ²⁰⁴Hg with ²⁰⁸Pb. We find that the yield of multinucleon transfer products are similar in these two reactions and are substantially lower than those observed in the reaction of 1257 MeV (E/A = 6.16 MeV) ²⁰⁴Hg+¹⁹⁸Pt. We compare our measurements with themore »« less

The ${}^{136}{Xe} + {}^{198}{Pt}$ reaction: A test of models of multi-nucleon transfer reactions

Journal Article Desai, V. V. ; Loveland, W. ; McCaleb, K. ; ... - Physical Review C

The yields of 42 projectile-like fragments (PLFs) and fission fragments and 36 target-like fragments (TLFs) were measured using off-line γ-ray spectroscopy in a thin target experiment involving the ¹³⁶Xe+¹⁹⁸Pt reaction. The center of target beam energy was 760.5 MeV (E_c.m.=450 MeV). The reported yields are compared with those from previous measurements for this reaction and with predictions of the GRAZING, di-nuclear systems (DNS), and improved quantum molecular dynamics (ImQMD) models. Here, the yields of the TLFs and PLFs are, in general, substantially smaller than those previously observed at a beam energy of 1085 MeV. Neither the GRAZING nor the DNSmore »« less

The Synthesis of New Neutron-Rich Heavy Nuclei

Journal Article Loveland, Walter David - Frontiers in Physics

All the known isotopes of the elements Fm through Og are neutron-deficient relative to β-stability. In this contribution, I discuss two methods of producing more n-rich heavy nuclei, i.e., the use of radioactive nuclear beams (RNBs) and the use of multi-nucleon transfer (MNT) reactions. In the former case, I discuss recent studies of the interaction of ^39,46K with ¹⁸¹Ta and their implications for the synthesis of more n-rich isotopes of Bh and Hs. In the case of MNT reactions, I discuss recent results for the reaction of ¹³⁶Xe with ²⁰⁸Pb, ²⁰⁴Hg + ¹⁹⁸Pt, and ¹³⁶Xe + ¹⁹⁸Pt. I compare measuredmore »« less

Description of the multinucleon transfer mechanism for Ca 48 + Pu 244 and Kr 86 + Pt 198 reactions in a quantal transport approach

Journal Article Arik, M. ; Ayik, S. ; Yilmaz, O. ; ... - Physical Review. C

Multinucleon transfer (MNT) reactions involving heavy projectile and target combinations stand as a promising method for synthesizing new neutron-rich exotic nuclei, which may not be possible using hot or cold fusion reactions or fragmentation. Exploring the mechanisms behind MNT reactions is essential and it requires a comprehensive theoretical framework that can explain the physical observables in these reactions. This work aims to show that the quantal diffusion approach based on the stochastic mean-field (SMF) theory is capable of explaining the reaction dynamics observed in MNT reactions.
