“…In the near future, apart from systematic RIB calculations in the mass range 40-60, we plan to perform detailed measurements of projectile fragments from 48 Ca and 70 Zn beams at 10-15 MeV/nucleon a) at Texas A&M with the MARS recoil separator [42,43] and b) at LNS/INFN with the MAGNEX large-acceptance spectrometer [71]. We expect that these measurements will provide a further detailed testing ground for our models, and will offer access to very neutron-rich nuclei for a broad range of studies.…”

We studied the production of neutron-rich nuclides in multinucleon transfer collisions of stable and radioactive beams in the mass range A∼40-60. We first presented our experimental cross section data of projectile fragments from the reaction of 40 Ar(15 MeV/nucleon) with 64 Ni, 58 Ni and 27 Al. We then compared them with calculations based on either the deep-inelastic transfer (DIT) model or the constrained molecular dynamics (CoMD) model, followed by the statistical multifragmentation model (SMM). An overall good agreement of the calculations with the experimental data is obtained. We continued with calculations of the reaction of 40 Ar (15 MeV/nucleon) with 238 U target and then with reactions of 48 Ca (15 MeV/nucleon) with 64 Ni and 238 U targets. In these reactions, neutron-rich rare isotopes with large cross sections are produced. These nuclides, in turn, can be assumed to form radioactive beams and interact with a subsequent target (preferably 238 U), leading to the production of extremely neutron-rich and even new isotopes (e.g. 60 Ca) in this mass range. We conclude that multinucleon transfer reactions with stable or radioactive beams at the energy of around 15 MeV/nucleon offer an effective route to access extremely neutron-rich rare isotopes for nuclear structure or reaction studies.

“…Such a possibility is offered by reactions of nucleon exchange which prevail at beam energies from the Coulomb barrier [25,26] to the Fermi energy MeV/nucleon) [27][28][29][30]. Detailed experimental data in this broad energy range are scarce at present, mostly due to the complex procedure of identification and separation [26,31,32] caused, primarily, by the wide charge state distribution of the reaction products. In multinucleon transfer and deep-inelastic reactions near the Coulomb barrier [26], the low velocities of the fragments and the wide angular and ionic charge state distributions may limit the collection efficiency for the most neutron-rich products.…”

“…The FAUST array [10] has been coupled to a large quadrupole triplet spectrometer (QTS) previously used for radioactive ion beam (RIB)/facility upgrade experiments with BIGSOL [9,[11][12][13][14]. FAUST-QTS was designed to collect Time-of-Flight (ToF) mass measurements in FAUST and QTS for heavy PLFs as well as ΔE-E measurements in FAUST for good isotopic resolution of LCPs and IMFs [10,15].…”

Heavy-ion collisions at lower energies provide a rich environment for investigating reaction dynamics. Recent theory has suggested a sensitivity to the symmetry energy and the equation of state via deformations of the reaction system and ternary breaking of the deformed reaction partners into three heavy fragments. A new detection system has been commissioned at Texas A&M University in an attempt to investigate some of the observables sensitive to the nuclear equation of state.
