Multinucleon transfer reactions for the 206Pb +118 Sn system were measured at Elab = 1200 MeV using the PRISMA large solid-angle magnetic spectrometer. The experiment was conducted at laboratory angles around the grazing angle, covering an angular range of approximately 20°. The resulting differential and total cross sections, along with Q-value distributions for various neutron and proton pick-up and stripping channels, are presented. The Q-value distributions suggest a transition from quasi-elastic to deep inelastic collision processes, particularly in channels involving nucleon transfers. The experimental results have been compared with GRAZING code calculations, showing good agreement for few-nucleon transfer channels, while channels with large nucleon transfers are underestimated, indicating the involvement of more complex processes.

Selected results recently obtained in studies of heavy ion transfer reactions at energies close to the Coulomb barrier are presented. In particular, the production of neutron-rich heavy nuclei via multinucleon transfer processes in 206Pb+118Sn, 197Au+130Te, and 94Rb+208Pb is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
