Mass and charge transfer was investigated for the system136Xe+208Pb at 5.9 MeV/nucleon incident energy with aΔE —E-time of flight telescope. The angle and energy integrated cross section for the strongly damped events was found to be 510 mb, very close to the total reaction cross section. The width of the mass distribution as function of the total kinetic energy loss was measured and is compared to the width of the corresponding charge distribution. An upper limit of 1 μb has been found for processes with very large mass transfer.
