Abstract
A study of few nucleon transfer reactions in conjunction with Coulomb excitation was performed by bombarding a232Th target with90Zr projectiles at incident energies close to the Coulomb barrier. Particle-γ coincidence techniques using the Heidelberg-Darmstadt Crystal Ball were employed to select excited states of reaction products. Around the grazing angle roughly 2/3 of the total cross section goes into transfer channels, half of it formed by 1n...4n transfer. The enhancement of the 2n cross section is in accord with a sequential process with a highly excited intermediate state. A correlated pair transfer directly populating yrast states appears to be negligibly small. The excitation energy is almost equally distributed upon the outgoing reaction partners for the 1n channel and there are indications for a similar behaviour of the 2n channel.
