Production and investigation of neutron-rich Osmium isotopes with and around N=126 using gas flow transport method
Neutron-rich isotopes of heavy nuclei are until now poorly studied. In this work we investigate neutron-rich osmium isotopes produced in multi-nucleon transfer reactions. The reaction 136Xe+208Pb at energy near Coulomb barrier is used for production of osmium isotopes. The CORSAR-V setup is used to record the characteristics of osmium isotopes. The separation of the reaction products is based on their respective volatility. Experimental results are presented and discussed. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
Mass distributions of the system136Xe+208Pb at laboratory energies around the Coulomb barrier: A candidate reaction for the production of neutron-rich nuclei atN=126
Reaction products from the system ${}^{136}\mathrm{Xe}+{}^{208}$Pb at ${}^{136}$Xe ions laboratory energies of 700, 870, and 1020 MeV were studied by two-body kinematics and by a catcher-foil activity analysis to explore the theoretically proposed suitability of such reaction as a means to produce neutron-rich nuclei in the neutron shell closure $N=126$. Cross sections for products heavier than ${}^{208}$Pb were measured and were found sensibly larger than new theoretical predictions. Transfers of up to 16 nucleons from Xe to Pb were observed.
