Production of neutron-rich isotopes around N=126 in multinucleon transfer reactions

The multinucleon transfer reaction has been investigated within the dinuclear system model. The nucleon transfer is coupled to the dissipation of relative motion energy and angular momentum by solving a set of microscopically derivedmaster equations. A barrier distribution approach is implemented in the model in order to include the contributions of different orientations and dynamical effects. The available data of fragment production via multinucleon transfer reactions could be understood with the model for the reactions of Xe-136+ Pt-198 / Pb-208 near Coulomb barrier energies. It is found that the production of heavy neutron-rich nuclei weakly depends on the incident energy. However, the yields of proton-rich nuclei increase with the incident energy.
