Title: Merging of transport theory with the time-dependent Hartree-Fock approach: Multinucleon transfer in U + U collisions

Abstract

Multinucleon transfer mechanism in the collision of 238U + 238U system is investigated at Ec.m. = 833 MeV in the framework of the quantal diffusion description based on the stochastic mean-field approach. Double cross sections σ (N, Z ) as a function of the neutron and proton numbers, the cross sections σ (Z ) and σ (A) as a function of the atomic numbers and the mass numbers are calculated for production of the primary fragments. The calculation indicates the 238U + 238U system may be located at an unstable equilibrium state at the potential energy surface with a slightly negative curvature along the β stability line on the (N, Z ) plane. Here, this behavior may lead to rather large diffusion along the β stability direction.
