In recent years, multinucleon transfer reactions have attracted significant attention for their potential to synthesize new exotic nuclei. These nuclei are difficult to be produced in fusion-evaporation reactions and fragmentation processes due to the extremely small production cross sections and/or the lack of appropriate projectile-target combinations. In the early 1970s, multinucleon transfer reactions have been used for the production of the light neutron-rich isotopes [1]. Since then, numerous laboratories have performed many experimental studies to produce heavy nuclei via multinucleon transfer reactions [2], but failed to observe new isotopes due to the limitation of experimental techniques. With the revival of this topic decade ago, extensive experimental efforts [3-5] have been reported and furthered the understanding of reaction mechanisms in multinucleon transfer processes. For example, the neutron-rich isotopes along the N= 126 shell, which are extremely interesting for the astrophysical r-process [6, 7], have been produced experimentally via multinucleon transfer reactions [3]. In the protonrich side of the nuclear landscape, several new isotopes with Z≥ 92 have been observed in the multinucleon transfer reaction [4]. Producing these desired isotopes requires not only efficient separation and detection facilities, but also the understanding of the reaction mechanism and reliable theoretical predictions.
