Abstract
Cross sections have been measured for deeply inelastic transfer reactions leading to the production of several radio-nuclides. Rare-earth targets were used and the projectiles were Ar, Cr, Fe and Cu ions. The reactions studied corresponded to transfers of two to nine protons and variable numbers of neutrons. The results obtained were used to study the evolution of some characteristics of these reactions, such as integrated cross sections and widths of the isotopic distributions, versus incident mass and transferred mass. These results confirm that mass transfer is driven by the potential energy of the composite system. The decrease of cross sections for increasing charge transfer may be quantitatively explained by assuming thermodynamical equilibrium of the mass asymmetry degree of freedom.
