Abstract:
The reaction mechanism of deep-inelastic multinucleon transfer processes in the 16O+27Al reaction
at an incident 16O energy (Elab = 134 MeV) substantially above the Coulomb barrier has
been studied both experimentally and theoretically. Elastic-scattering angular distribution, total
kinetic energy loss spectra and angular distributions for various transfer channels have been measured.
The Q-value- and angle-integrated isotope production cross sections have been deduced.
To obtain deeper insight into the underlying reaction mechanism, we have carried out a detailed
analysis based on the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory. A recently developed method,
TDHF+GEMINI, has been applied to evaluate production cross sections for secondary products.
From a comparison between the experimental and theoretical cross sections, we nd that the theory
qualitatively reproduces the experimental data. Signi cant e ects of secondary light-particle
emissions are demonstrated. Possible interplay between fusion- ssion, deep-inelastic, multinucleon
transfer and particle evaporation processes are discussed.
