Description

Numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation (TDSE) 1 is used for studying neutron transfer processes at near-barrier energies. The evolution of the wave functions for outer neutron is determined for reactions $^{181}$Ta($^{18}$O,$^{19}$O). TDSE allows us to visualize the dynamics of taking place processes [1-3]. The probabilities are calculated for neutrons transfer from outer shells of the target $^{181}$Ta. The results of calculations of transfer cross sections are in satisfactory agreement with experimental data [4] for reaction $^{181}$Ta($^{18}$O,$^{19}$O). High probability of neutron transfer from the $^{181}$Ta nucleus to the 2$s$ orbital of $^{18}$O nucleus at near-barrier energies has been yielded (see Figure 1).

In our previous work [4], differential cross sections for the formation of oxygen isotopes in the reaction $^{18}$O+$^{181}$Ta have been measured at projectile nucleus energy 10$A$ MeV on the high-resolution magnetic spectrometer MAVR. Theoretical analysis has been performed in the DWBA formalism using the FRESCO code under the assumption of sequential neutron transfer mechanism.
