Abstract

In the bombardment of 232Th with 22Ne ions with an energy of 172 MeV the energy spectra and production cross sectionslfor isotopes of elements ranging ifrom Be to F have been measured at an emission angle of 12°. It is shown that all of the isotopes detected have been produced by deep inelastic collisions of the initial nuclei, i.e. the kinetic energies of the reaction products are close to the exit Coulomb barriers. It is found that the energy spectra widths (FWHM), relative yields at 12° and 40° and the Qgg dependences of isotopic production cross sections differ considerably for stable, neutron-deficient and neutron-rich isotopes. This difference can be interpreted as being due to a contribution from secondary processes such as α-particle and nucléon evaporation from the excited 22Ne and light transfer reaction products. The data obtained can be employed to choose optimal conditions for the detection of the extremely neutron-rich isotopes of light elements produced in multinucleon transfer reactions.
