Zusammenfassung: | Background: Multi-nucleon transfer (MNT) reactions in actinide systems are a
promising method to synthesize transuranium neutron-rich elements. Appropriate
theoretical approaches are needed to understand the mechanism behind MNT.
Purpose: This work aims to produce neutron-rich isotopes in the super-heavy
region through the ^{238} \mathrm{U}+{ }^{248} \mathrm{Cm}$ system. We
employ a microscopic approach to elucidate reaction mechanisms, and predict new
isotope production that expands the known nuclear chart. Methods: The
stochastic mean-field (SMF) approach, including fluctuations and correlations,
is used to explain the primary cross-sections in MNT reactions based on the
quasi-fission and inverse quasi-fission processes, and a statistical
de-excitation model with GEMINI++ code to calculate the secondary fragment
cross-sections Results: The calculated cross-sections using SMF and GEMINI++
explain available experimental results for the ^{238} \mathrm{U}+{ }^{248}
\mathrm{Cm}$ system at $E_\mathrm{c.m.}=898.7$~MeV energy. This shows the
effectiveness and applicability of the quantal diffusion approach based on the
SMF theory in heavy-ion collisions. Conclusions: Production of transuranium
neutron-rich elements with a proton number up to $Z=$101 are obtained with
sizable cross-sections. Theoretical results calculated for the Z=102-105
region, for which there are no experimental data, show that the cross-section
values would be lower than the microbarn level. SMF theory does not contain any
adjustable parameters other than the standard parameters of the energy density
functional used in the TDHF theory and is an important approach for the
microscopic understanding of reaction mechanisms. |
