Abstract

A periodic variation of the multi-proton transfer probability as a function of the nuclear charges of the residual nuclei has been observed in collisions of 238U with 110Pd and 124Sn at bombarding energies close to the Coulomb barrier. After the N = 82 closed neutron shell of the light reaction partner is filled through multi-neutron transfer and an energy dissipation of about 100 MeV, transfer of pairs of protons is observed with modulated transfer strength. The proton multi-pair transfer dissipates no further energy.
