Population of nuclei far from stability via multinucleon transfer:: the 58Ni+208Pb case

Multinucleon transfer reactions in Ni-58 + Pb-208 were studied at E-LAB = 328.4 MeV. Light products were identified with a time-of-flight magnetic spectrometer and heavy fragments with a multiwire parallel plate detector. From the kinematic coincidence the survival probability of the heavy fragments against fission was derived. Data are compared with semiclassical model calculations.
