Abstract

The multinucleon transfer reactions with actinides were analyzed in this work as a method of production of heavy neutron-enriched nuclei within a dynamical approach based on Langevin equations. Special interest is paid to production yields of neutron-enriched nuclei with closed neutron shell \(N=126\) and in the region of transuranium elements. Issues of an optimal combination of colliding nuclei and reaction energy are mainly considered. According to the calculations, heavier projectile bombarding actinide target leads to larger production cross sections of neutron-enriched isotopes of transuranium elements. Moreover, their yields weakly depend on the collision energy. At the same time yields of products heavier than the target decrease as the collision energy goes up.
