Nuclear dynamics in multinucleon transfer reactions near Coulomb barrier energies

The mechanism of multinucleon transfer reactions has been investigated within the dinuclear system model, in which the sequential nucleon transfer is described by solving a set of microscopically derived master equations. The transfer dynamics in the reaction of ${}^{136}Xe+{}^{208}Pb$ near Coulomb barrier energies is thoroughly analyzed. It is found that the total kinetic energies of primary fragments are dissipated from the relative motion energy of two touching nuclei and exhibit a symmetric distribution along the fragment mass. The angular distribution of the projectile-like fragments moves forward with increasing beam energy. However, the target-like fragments exhibit an opposite trend. The shell effect is pronounced due to the fragment yields in multinucleon transfer reactions.
