Abstract
The advent of the last generation large solid angle magnetic spectrometers, coupled to large gamma arrays, allowed to perform gamma-particle coincidences for nuclei moderately far from stability, especially in the neutron-rich region. Via transfer of multiple pairs valuable information on nucleon-nucleon correlations can also be derived, especially from measurements performed below the Coulomb barrier. There is growing interest in the study of the properties of the heavy binary partner, in the Pb and in the actinides regions, crucial also for astrophysics.
Highlights
Via multinucleon transfer reactions at Coulomb barrier energies one can investigate nucleonnucleon correlation in nuclei, the transition from the quasielastic to the deep-inelastic regime and channel coupling effects in sub-barrier fusion reactions [1]. This mechanism, where many nucleons are transferred and where nuclear structure still plays a significant role in the dynamics, since one decade is at a focus of important experimental and theoretical advances
The advent of the last generation large solid angle magnetic spectrometers [2,3,4,5] coupled to large gamma arrays [6,7,8] allowed to perform gamma-particle coincidences, studying at the same time reaction mechanism and nuclear structure for nuclei produced via nucleon transfer or deep-inelastic reactions, especially in the neutron-rich region
Ongoing studies are of primary importance for reactions to be done with radioactive ion beams [9, 10] where multinucleon transfer has been shown to be a competitive tool for the study of neutron-rich nuclei, at least for certain mass regions
Summary
Via multinucleon transfer reactions at Coulomb barrier energies one can investigate nucleonnucleon correlation in nuclei, the transition from the quasielastic to the deep-inelastic regime and channel coupling effects in sub-barrier fusion reactions [1]. This mechanism, where many nucleons are transferred and where nuclear structure still plays a significant role in the dynamics, since one decade is at a focus of important experimental and theoretical advances.
