Shell effects in a multinucleon transfer process

The shell effects in multinucleon transfer process are investigated in the systems ¹³⁶Xe + ¹⁹⁸Pt and ¹³⁶Xe + ²⁰⁸Pb within the dinuclear system (DNS) model. The temperature dependence of shell corrections on potential energy surface is taken into account in the DNS model and remarkable improvement for description of experimental data is noticed. The reactions ¹³⁶Xe + ¹⁸⁶W and ¹⁵⁰Nd + ¹⁸⁶W are also studied. It is found that due to shell effects the projectile ¹⁵⁰Nd is more promising for producing transtarget nuclei rather than ¹³⁶Xe with neutron shell closure.
