Mechanism of multinucleon transfer reaction based on the GRAZING model and DNS model

Multinucleon transfer (MNT) reactions have been studied by either the GRAZING model or dinuclear system (DNS) model before. MNT reactions in the grazing regime have been described quite well by the GRAZING model. The DNS model is able to deal with MNT reactions, which happen in the closer overlapped regime after contact of two colliding nuclei. Since MNT reactions can happen in both areas and cannot be distinguished in view of experimental work, it is beneficial to compare these two models to clarify mechanism of MNT reactions. In this study, the mechanism of the MNT reaction has been studied by comparing the GRAZING model and DNS model for the first time. Reaction systems ¹³⁶Xe+²⁰⁸Pb at {E}_{{c}.{{m}}.}=450 MeV and ⁶⁴Ni+²³⁸U at {E}_{{c}.{{m}}.}=307 MeV are taken as examples in this paper. It is found that the gradients of transfer cross sections with respect to the impact parameter of the GRAZING model and DNS model are mainly concentrated on two different areas, which represents two kinds of transfer mechanisms. The theoretical framework of these two models are exclusive according to whether capture happens, which guarantees that the theoretical results calculated by these two models have no overlap and can be added up. Results indicate that the description of experimental MNT reaction cross sections can be significantly improved if calculations of the GRAZING model and DNS model are both considered.
