Neutron transfer in the ⁴⁸Ca+¹⁹⁷Au reaction

In this study, we investigated the production of Au isotopes through neutron transfer reactions in the Ca-48 + Au-197 collision at a beam energy of 300 MeV. The reaction products of Au-197 +/- x were captured and stopped within an assembly of Au targets after being irradiated with a 48Ca beam. The populated Au isotopes were identified through gamma decay spectroscopy and production cross-sections were determined. Furthermore, we performed model calculations based on the solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation for neutrons. These calculations aimed to estimate the formation probabilities and cross-sections of the measured Au isotopes and to elucidate the dynamics of the neutron transfer process. To describe the cross sections of neutron transfer channels and compare with the results of calculations within the framework of the model based on the time-dependent Schrodinger equation, calculations using the Grazing code were performed.
