Production of heavy neutron-rich nuclei in transfer reactions within the dinuclear system model

The dynamics of nucleon transfer processes in heavy-ion collisions is investigated within the dinuclear system model. The production cross sections of nuclei in the reactions ¹³⁶Xe+²⁰⁸Pb and ²³⁸U+²⁴⁸Cm are calculated, and the calculations are in good agreement with the experimental data. The transfer cross sections for the ⁵⁸Ni+²⁰⁸Pb reaction are calculated and compared with the experimental data. We predict the production cross sections of neutron-rich nuclei ^165-168 Eu, ^169-173 Tb, ^173-178 Ho, and ^181-185Yb based on the reaction ¹⁷⁶Yb+²³⁸U. It can be seen that the production cross sections of the neutron-rich nuclei ¹⁶⁵Eu, ¹⁶⁹Tb, ¹⁷³Ho, and ¹⁸¹Yb are 2.84 μb, 6.90 μb, 46.24 μb, and 53.61 μb, respectively, which could be synthesized in experiment.
