MULTI-NUCLEON TRANSFER REACTIONS IN U+Ni USING GRAZING MODEL

Multi-nucleon transfer (MNT) reactions give access to heavy exotic neutron-rich nuclei which are difficult to be produced by fission or in fragmentation reactions. The U+Ni MNT reactions taking place inside a gas cell, is simulated with the GRAZING code. Simulations of the release of reaction product from the target and of their slowing down in the He gas of the cell are performed with the GEANT4 software. The space charge effects induced by gas ionization are studied with the SIMION program. The implications for an experimental program using such a setup are discussed.
