Investigation of neutron transfer in 7Li+124Sn system

The relative importance of neutron transfer and breakup process in a reaction around Coulomb barrier energies has been studied for the Li-7 +Sn-124 system. Coupled channel calculations have been performed to understand the one neutron stripping and pickup cross sections along with the breakup in the Li-7 +Sn-124 system. The systematics of one and two neutron stripping and pickup cross sections with a Li-7 projectile on several targets show an approximate universal behavior, which has been explained by a simple model based on barrier penetration. Complete reaction mechanism have been studied by comparing the reaction cross sections with the measured total fusion and one neutron transfer cross sections.

Automated summary

The relative importance of neutron transfer and breakup process for the Li-7 +Sn-124 system at energies around the Coulomb barrier has been studied using coupled channel calculations. The systematic behavior of one and two neutron stripping and pickup cross sections with a Li-7 projectile on multiple targets has been observed, which can be explained by a simple model based on barrier penetration. By comparing reaction cross sections with measured total fusion and one neutron transfer cross sections, a complete reaction mechanism has been studied.
