Abstract
It is proposed a new setup to produce and investigate heavy neutron rich nuclei located along the neutron closed shell N=126. This “blank spot” of the nuclear map can be reached neither in fusion–fission reactions nor in fragmentation processes widely used nowadays for the production of exotic nuclei. A new way was recently proposed for the production of these nuclei via low-energy multi-nucleon transfer reactions. The estimated yields of neutron-rich nuclei are found to be rather high in such reactions and several tens of new nuclides can be produced in the near-barrier collision of 136 Xe with 208 Pb, for instance. This setup could definitely open a new opportunity in the studies at heavy-ion facilities and will have significant impact on future experiments.
