Quantal diffusion description of isotope production by multinucleon transfer mechanism in ${}^{48}\text{Ca}+{}^{238}\text{U}$ collisions

Abstract

As an extension of previous work, we calculate the production cross-section of heavy neutron-rich isotopes by employing the quantal diffusion description to ${}^{48}\text{Ca}+{}^{238}\text{U}$ collisions. The quantal diffusion is deduced from stochastic mean-field approach, and transport properties are determined in terms of time-dependent single-particle wave functions of the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory. As a result, the approach allows for prediction of production cross-sections without any adjustable parameters. The secondary cross-sections by particle emission are calculated with the help of the statistical GEMINI++ code.
