Abstract

The relative importance of neutron transfer and breakup process in reaction around Coulomb barrier energies have been studied for the $^{7}$Li+$^{124}$Sn system. Coupled channel calculations have been performed to understand the one neutron stripping and pickup cross sections along with the breakup in the $^{7}$Li+$^{124}$Sn system. The systematics of one and two neutron striping and pickup cross sections with $^7$Li projectile on several targets show an approximate universal behaviour that have been explained by a simple model. Complete reaction mechanism have been studied by comparing the reaction cross sections with cumulative cross sections of total fusion and one neutron transfer.
