In this study, we investigated the production of Au isotopes through neutron transfer reactions in the 48Ca + 197Au collision at a beam energy of 300 MeV. The reaction products of 197±xAu were captured and stopped within an assembly of Au targets after being irradiated with a 48Ca beam. The populated Au isotopes were identified through gamma decay spectroscopy and production cross-sections were determined. Furthermore, we performed model calculations based on the solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for neutrons. These calculations aimed to estimate the formation probabilities and cross-sections of the measured Au isotopes and to elucidate the dynamics of the neutron transfer process. To describe the cross sections of neutron transfer channels and compare with the results of calculations within the framework of the model based on the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, calculations using the Grazing code were performed.
