Production of exotic neutron-deficient isotopes near N, Z=50 in multinucleon transfer reactions

The multinucleon transfer reaction in the collisions of 40 Ca+^124 Sn at Ec.m.= 128.5 MeV is investigated using the improved quantum molecular dynamics model. The measured angular distributions and isotopic distributions of the products are reproduced reasonably well by the calculations. The multinucleon transfer reactions of 40 Ca+^112 Sn, 58 Ni+^112 Sn, 106 Cd+^112 Sn, and 48 Ca+^112 Sn are also studied. This demonstrates that the combinations of neutron-deficient projectile and target are advantageous for the production of exotic neutron-deficient nuclei near N,Z =50. The charged particles’ emission plays an important role at small impact parameters in the de-excitation processes of the system. The production cross sections of the exotic neutron-deficient nuclei in multinucleon transfer reactions are much larger than those measured in the fragmentation and fusion-evaporation reactions. Several new neutron-deficient nuclei can be produced in the 106 Cd+^112 Sn reaction. The corresponding production cross sections for the new neutron-deficient nuclei,101,112 Sb,103 Te,and 106,107) I,are 2.0 nb,4.1 nb,6.5 nb,0.4 μb and 1.0 μb,respectively.
