Description
Heavy-ion multinucleon transfer reactions at around the Coulomb barrier offer unique opportunity to study a variety of non-equilibrium nuclear dynamics, such as energy dissipation, nucleon transfer, shape evolution, fusion, and so on. Besides the fundamental interest into the underlying reaction mechanism, it possesses substantial importance as a means for producing new, neutron-rich heavy nuclei, whose properties are crucial to figure out the detailed scenario of the r-process nucleosynthesis. Aiming at prediction of optimal reactions for producing yet-unknown neutron-rich unstable nuclei, I have extensively developed and applied methods based on the microscopic framework of the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory. In this talk, I will review our recent works and progress, showing how the theory works in practice, making possible comparisons with available experimental data.
