Sub-barrier transfer reactions studied with the magnetic spectrometer PRISMA

Transfer reactions in the sub-barrier region have been studied at Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro (LNL) by using the large solid angle magnetic spectrometer PRISMA. In particular, excitation functions of multinucleon transfer channels have been measured for the systems 96Zr+40Ca (closed shell nuclei), 116Sn+60Ni (super-fluid nuclei) from the Coulomb barrier to 25% below. Results of these measurements are presented in this contribution. An ancillary detection system has been designed and built in order to perform kinematic coincidence measurements in conjunction with PRISMA. It will allow to study the effects of secondary processes, such as evaporation and fission, which strongly affect the final yield of the reaction products. The status of this development is also reported.
