Abstract
In this work we study the simultaneous and sequential two-neutron transfer mechanisms to the $^{28}$Si nucleus induced by (t,p) and ($^{18}$O, $^{16}$O) reactions. New experimental cross sections for the $^{28}$Si($^{18}$O,$^{16}$O)$^{30}$Si reaction at 84 MeV are also presented. Direct reaction calculations are carried out within the Exact Finite Range Coupled Reaction Channel, for the simultaneous transfer of the two-neutron cluster, and the second order Distorted Wave Born Approximation, for the sequential transfer. Two different models are considered to describe the two-neutron cluster. The spectroscopic information was obtained from shell model calculation with {\it psdmod} interaction for the target overlaps where the 1p$_{3/2}$, 1p$_{1/2}$, 1d$_{3/2}$, 1d$_{5/2}$ and 2s$_{1/2}$ orbitals are included as valence sub-space. We show that simultaneous and sequential two-neutron transfer are competing mechanisms for the population of the ground state in $^{30}$Si. A systematic analysis of the two-neutron transfer induced by the ($^{18}O,^{16}O$) indicates that static deformation of target nuclei impacts on the two-neutron transfer mechanism.
