Saturation of product's exoticity in compound nuclear reactions and its role in the production of new n-deficient nuclei with radioactive projectiles

Representation in terms of a new parameter, exoticity, a measure of n-deficiency or p-richness, clearly brings out the saturation tendency of the product's maximum exoticity in a compound nuclear reaction as the compound nucleus is made more and more exotic using radioactive projectile (RIBs). The effect of this saturation on the production of new proton-rich species with RIBs over a wide Z-range has been discussed.
