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.
