GALS – setup for production and study of heavy neutron rich nuclei

New way for the production of heavy neutron-rich nuclei

A new way is found to discover and examine unknown neutron-rich heavy nuclei at the ‘north-east’ part of the nuclear map. This ‘blank spot’ of the nuclear map can be reached neither in fusion–fission reactions nor in fragmentation processes widely used nowadays for the production of new nuclei. The present limits of the upper part of the nuclear map are very close to stability while the unexplo...

Production and study of new neutron rich heavy nuclei in multinucleon transfer reactions

30 years ago there had been a great deal of interest in the use of heavy ion multinucleon transfer reactions for the production of new neutron rich isotopes of heavy nuclei. Many experiments of such kind have been performed those time and very interesting information concerning collision dynamics have been derived. The cross sections for the production of above–target elements were found to dec...

Light cluster production in intermediate energy heavy-ion collisions induced by neutron-rich nuclei

The coalescence model based on nucleon distribution functions from an isospin-dependent transport model is used to study the production of deuteron, triton, and He from heavy-ion collisions induced by neutron-rich nuclei at intermediate energies. It is found that the emission time of these light clusters depends on their masses. For clusters with same momentum per nucleon, heavier ones are emit...
