Pathway for the Production of Neutron-Rich Isotopes around the N = 126 Shell Closure

Résumé

Absolute cross sections for isotopically identified products formed in multinucleon transfer in the 136Xe + 198Pt system at ∼ 8 MeV=nucleon are reported. The isotopic distributions obtained using a large acceptance spectrometer demonstrated the production of the “hard-to-reach” neutron-rich isotopes for Z < 78 around the N = 126 shell closure far from stability. The main contribution to the formation of these exotic nuclei is shown to arise in collisions with a small kinetic energy dissipation. The present experimental finding corroborates for the first time recent predictions that multinucleon transfer reactions would be the optimum method to populate and characterize neutron-rich isotopes around N = 126 which are crucial for understanding both astrophysically relevant processes and the evolution of “magic” numbers far from stability.
