Nucleosynthesis in multinucleon transfer reactions

Abstract How does one populate still vacant areas on the chart of nuclides? Mainly neutron-rich side several thousand further isotopes are expected to exist, including most nuclei along astrophysical r-process path. The standard nucleosynthesis reactions, which fragmentation, fission and fusion, reaching their limits. Therefore, other pathways exotic needed. Years ago, idea arose revive multinucleon transfer reactions progress toward heavy superheavy nuclei. Meanwhile, this option is investigated in nuclear physics labs worldwide. Beside new studies product kinematics cross-sections, development suitable separation detection techniques for products ongoing. But how promising these advances? So far achieved results allow us get an impression potential provide nucleosynthesis.
