Rare Isotope Formation in Complete Fusion and Multinucleon Transfer Reactions in Collisions of 48Ca +248Cm around Coulomb Barrier Energies

Abstract

Within the framework of the dinuclear system model, the reaction mechanisms for synthesizing target-like isotopes from Bk to compound nuclei Lv are thoroughly investigated in complete and incomplete fusion reaction of $^{48}$Ca +$^{248}$Cm around Coulomb barrier energies. Production cross-section of $^{292,293}$Lv as a function of excitation energy in fusion-evaporation reactions and target-like isotopic yields in multinucleon transfer reactions are evaluated, in which a statistical approach is used to describe the decay process of excited nuclei. The available experimental data can be reproduced well with the model reasonably. The products of all possible formed isotopes in the dynamical pre-equilibrium process for collision partners at incident energy $E_{\rm lab}$ = 5.5 MeV/nucleon are exported, systematically. It is found that the quasi-fission fragments are dominant in the yields. The optimal pathway from the target to compound nuclei shows up along the valley of potential surface energy. The effective impact parameter of two colliding partners leading to compound nuclei is selected from head-on collision to semi-central collision with $L$ = 52 $\rm \hbar$. The timescale boundary between complete fusion and multinucleon transfer reactions is about 5.7$\times 10^{-21}$ s with effective impact parameters. Synthesis cross-section of unknown neutron-rich actinides from Bk to Rf have been predicted around several nanobarns.
