Differential Production Cross Sections for Isotopes of Light Nuclei in the $$\boldsymbol{{}^{18}\textrm{O}+^{181}}$$Ta Reaction

Abstract

The results of experiments performed at a high-resolution magnetic spectrometer (MAVR) are presented. The differential production cross sections for oxygen isotopes in the $${}^{18}\textrm{O}+^{181}$$ Ta reaction at the projectile energy of 10 MeV per nucleon were measured at the MAVR facility. The yield of reaction products is analyzed theoretically in the finite-range distorted-wave Born approximation (FR-DWBA method) by means of the FRESCO code. The theoretical differential cross sections are calculated for sequential neutron transfer. The contributions of the mechanisms of sequential neutron transfer and dineutron-cluster transfer to the production cross sections for the neutron-rich oxygen isotopes $${}^{20,22,24}$$ O are studied.
