Neutron transfer in reaction 18O + 181Ta with formation of neutron-rich oxygen isotopes

Abstract

Differential cross sections for the formation of oxygen isotopes in the reaction 18O + 181Ta have been measured at projectile nucleus energy 10 A·MeV on the high-resolution magnetic spectrometer MAVR. Theoretical analysis of product yields has been performed in the finite-range distorted-wave Born approximation formalism using the FRESCO code under the assumption of sequential neutron transfer mechanism. The results of calculations are in good agreement with experimental data.
