The use of exotic heavy ion transfer reactions to study light neutron rich nuclei

The 18O + 207, 208Pb reaction at E = 93 MeV has been used to measure the mass excesses of 21, 22O 19N and 17C. values of 8.095 ± 0.075, 9.29 ± 0.18, 15.96 ± 0.15 and 21.10 ± 0.22 MeV, respectively, were obtained. These results are in good agreement with previous measurements. A comparison with current theoretical predictions is also presented.
