Production of p-rich nuclei with Z = 20-25 based on radioactive ion beams

Within the framework of isospin-dependent Boltzmann-Langevin model,the production cross sections of proton-rich nuclei with Z=20-25 are investigated.According to the reaction results for different isospin of projectiles^(48)Ni,^(49)Ni,and^(50)Ni,proton-rich fragments tend to be more easily produced in reactions with the protonrich projectile^(48)Ni.The production cross sections of the unknown nuclei in the vicinity of the projectile are sensitive to incident energy.It is observed that incident energy of 345 MeV/u is appropriate for producing proton-rich nuclei with Z=20-25.In projectile fragmentation reactions based on the radioactive ion beam of48Ni at 345MeV/u,several unknown proton-rich nuclei near the proton drip line are generated in the simulations.All these new nuclei are near-projectile elements near Z=28.The production cross sections of the new nuclei^(34)Ca,37,38Sc,^(38)Ti,^(40,41,42)V,^(40,41)Cr,and^(42,43,44,45)Mn are in the range of 10-2-102mb.Hence,projectile fragmentation of radioactive ion beams of Ni is a potential method for generating new proton-rich nuclei with Z=20-25.
