In this contribution we summarize recent efforts to describe the production of rare isotopes with beams of 15–25 MeV/nucleon expected from low-energy facilities. We first present calculated production cross sections of proton-rich nuclides from collisions of stable beams of mass A∼60–80. Our calculations are performed with the phenomenological deep-inelastic transfer (DIT) model and the microscopic con- strained molecular dynamics model (CoMD). De-excitation of the excited quasipro- jectiles from the dynamical stage of the reaction is performed with the statistical multifragmentation model (SMM). In addition to the efforts on proton-rich nuclides, we investigated the possibility of producing neutron-rich rare isotopes in the mass range A∼180–200, i.e. near the third r-process peak of A=195. We performed calcu- lations for a 208Pb (15MeV/nucleon) beam and find that the multinucleon transfer mechanism leads to very neutron-rich nuclides in this mass range. We believe that our continued progress on the study of multinucleon transfer reactions using heavy- ion beams of 15–25 MeV/nucleon, can provide new opportunities in rare isotope research in the near future, as planned at the KOBRA facility of RISP in Korea.

This paper presents our recent study on the production of neutron-rich rare isotopes with heavy-ion beams in the energy region of 15 MeV/nucleon. We present calculated production cross sections of neutron-rich nuclides from collisions of a 86Kr (15 MeV/nucleon) beam with 238U targets. Our calculations are based on a two-step approach: the dynamical stage of the collision is described with either the phenomenological Deep-Inelastic Transfer model (DIT), or with the microscopic Constrained Molecular Dynamics model (CoMD). The de-excitation of the hot heavy projectile fragments is performed with the Statistical Multifragmentation Model (SMM). We also performed calculations with a radioactive beam of 92Kr (15 MeV/nucleon) with a target of 238U and observed that the multinucleon transfer mechanism leads to very neutron-rich nuclides toward and beyond the astrophysical r-process path. In the future, we plan to experimentally investigate such reactions in the KOBRA spectrometer at the RISP facility in Korea. We conclude that the reaction mechanism at beam energies below the Fermi energy involving periph- eral nucleon exchange, constitutes a novel and effective route to access extremely neutron-rich isotopes toward the r-process path and the neutron drip-line.
