Abstract

We report the first direct measurement of differential transfer cross sections using a Recoil Mass Spectrometer. Absolute differential 1p- and 2p-stripping cross sections at \(\theta _\mathrm {c.m.}=180^\circ \) have been determined for the system \(^{16}\)O+\(^{142}\)Ce by detecting the heavier target-like ions at the focal plane of the Heavy Ion Reaction Analyzer. Focal plane spectra have been compared with the results of a semi-microscopic Monte-Carlo simulation to unambiguously identify the transfer channels. The methodology adopted in this work can be applied to measure multi-nucleon transfer cross sections using other similar recoil separators. The experimental excitation functions for the reactions \(^{142}\mathrm {Ce(}^{16}\textrm{O,}^{15}\mathrm {N)}^{143}\textrm{Pr}\) and \(^{142}\mathrm {Ce(}^{16}\textrm{O,}^{14}\mathrm {C)}^{144}\textrm{Nd}\) have been compared with coupled reaction channels calculations. Shell model calculations have been performed to extract spectroscopic information for the target-like nuclei. An excellent matching between measurement and theory has been obtained for 1p-stripping. For 2p-stripping, cluster transfer of two protons has been found to have dominant contribution. Measured transfer probabilities for 1p- and 2p-stripping channels have been compared with Time-Dependent Hartree–Fock calculations. Proton stripping channels are found to be more favourable compared to neutron pick-up channels. However, the theory overpredicts the measurement hinting at the need for extended approaches with explicit treatment of pairing correlations in the calculations.
