Shell effects in damped collisions: a new way to superheavies
Abstract
The dynamics of heavy-ion low-energy damped collisions is studied within the model based on the Langevin-type equations. Shell effects on the multi-dimensional potential energy surface play an important role in these reactions. An enhanced yield of nuclides far from the projectile and target masses was found in multi-nucleon transfer reactions due to the shell effects. Our theoretical predictions need experimental confirmation.
