Production of transuranium isotopes in Ne 20 -induced incomplete fusion reactions

Using a semiclassical dynamical model that combines a classical trajectory model with stochastic breakup with a dynamical fragmentation theory treatment of two-body clusterization and decay of a projectile, results are presented for $^{20}\mathrm{Ne}$-induced incomplete fusion reactions for the production of superheavy elements. Targets include $^{247,248,250}\mathrm{Cm}$ and $^{251,252,254}\mathrm{Cf}$, and results include angular, excitation energy, and angular momentum distributions in addition to total integrated cross sections for heavy incomplete fusion products. The results show that at Coulomb energies, the studied Cf isotopes are generally the more favorable choice of target over the studied Cm isotopes for the production of `colder' and more stable $^{263}\mathrm{Lr}$, $^{263,264,266}\mathrm{Rf}$, and $^{265}\mathrm{Db}$ isotopes through the incomplete fusion mechanism. Also presented are evaporation residue cross sections for the dominant primary incomplete fusion products of each of the six reactions: $^{263,264,266}\mathrm{Rf}$ and $^{267,268,270}\mathrm{Sg}$, as well as for the primary incomplete fusion products $^{269,270,272}\mathrm{Bh}$.
