Syntheses of transuranium isotopes with atomic numbers Z≤ 103 in multi-nucleon transfer reactions

Abstract In Section 1 we will discuss multi-nucleon transfer reactions with light heavy ions, which can be thought of as competing with complete fusion at higher impact parameters. Quasi-elastic and multi-nucleon transfer reactions with the heaviest projectiles will be discussed in Section 2 . In Section 3 we will cover recent developments focusing on theoretical predictions of cross sections of superheavy nuclei, cover some new possibilities and look into the existing experimental challenges.

Radiochemical study of the kinematics of multi-nucleon transfer reactions in 48Ca + 248Cm collisions 10% above the Coulomb barrier

Abstract The kinematics of multi-nucleon transfer reactions in 48Ca + 248Cm collisions at 262 MeV (center of target) was investigated by using a stacked-foil technique and radiochemical separations of trans-curium elements. Trans-curium isotopes were identified by α-particle spectroscopy. For Fm isotopes, by comparing the centroids of the measured post-neutron emission isotope distributions with the most probable primary mass number predicted by Volkov's generalized Q g g systematics, the missing mass (number of evaporated neutrons) is estimated. The latter is compared with that deduced from the measured centroid of the laboratory angular distribution peaked closely to the grazing angle and…
