Production of neutron-rich Ca, Sn, and Xe isotopes in transfer-type reactions with radioactive beams

Abstract

The production cross sections of neutron-rich isotopes $^{52,54,56,58,60}\mathrm{Ca}$, $^{136,138,140,142}\mathrm{Sn}$, and $^{146,148,150,152}\mathrm{Xe}$ are predicted for future experiments in the diffusive multinucleon transfer reactions $^{86,90,92,94}\mathrm{Kr}$, $^{124,130,132,134}\mathrm{Sn}$, $^{136,140,142,146}\mathrm{Xe}$, and $^{138,144,146}\mathrm{Ba}$$+$$^{48}\mathrm{Ca}$ with stable and radioactive beams at incident energies close to the Coulomb barrier. Because of the small cross sections, the production of neutron-rich isotopes requires the optimal choice of projectile-target combinations and bombarding energies.
