Abstract
Simple asymptotic expressions are obtained for the optimum value and for the total heavy-ion transfer cross section with optimum value at energies well below the barrier. For such reactions transfer processes are predicted to be more important than compound reactions in agreement with measurements performed on the + system. Calculations on transfer reactions between and , of current interest in nucleo-synthesis, indicate direct reactions to be of no significance.
