Approaching neutron-rich nuclei towards the r-process path in 86Kr-induced collisions at 15 MeV/nucleon
Abstract
The production cross sections of projectile-like fragments from collisions of 15 MeV/nucleon 86Kr with 64,58Ni and 124,112Sn have been measured using a magnetic separator with emphasis on the neutron-rich isotopes. Neutron pick-up isotopes (with up to 6-8 neutrons picked-up from the target) were observed with large cross sections. The present results were also compared with our previous data of the same reactions at 25 MeV/nucleon. The data at 15 MeV/nucleon show enhanced production of neutron-rich isotopes very close to the projectile, relative to the corresponding data at 25 MeV/nucleon. The large cross sections of such reactions involving peripheral nucleon exchange, indicate that these reactions offer a novel route to access extremely neutron-rich rare isotopes towards the the astrophysical r-process path and the neutron-drip line.
