Query: Microscopic predictions for production of neutron rich nuclei in the
  reaction $^\mathbf{176}\mathbf{Yb}+{}^\mathbf{176}\mathbf{Yb}$   Background: Production of neutron-rich nuclei is of vital importance to both
understanding nuclear structure far from stability and to informing
astrophysical models of the rapid neutron capture process (r-process).
Multinucleon transfer (MNT) in heavy-ion collisions offers a possibility to
produce neutron-rich nuclei far from stability.
  Purpose: The $^{176}\mathrm{Yb}+{}^{176}\mathrm{Yb}$ reaction has been
suggested as a potential candidate to explore the neutron-rich region
surrounding the principal fragments. The current study has been conducted with
the goal of providing guidance for future experiments wishing to study this (or
similar) system.
  Methods: Time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) and its time-dependent
random-phase approximation (TDRPA) extension are used to examine both
scattering and MNT characteristics in $^{176}\mathrm{Yb}+{}^{176}\mathrm{Yb}$.
TDRPA calculations are performed to compute fluctuations and correlations of
the neutron and proton numbers, allowing for estimates of primary fragment
production probabilities.
  Results: Both scattering results from TDHF and transfer results from the
TDRPA are presented for different energies, orientations, and impact
parameters. In addition to fragment composition, scattering angles and total
kinetic energies, as well as correlations between these observables are
presented.
  Conclusions: $^{176}\mathrm{Yb}+{}^{176}\mathrm{Yb}$ appears to be an
interesting probe for the mid-mass neutron-rich region of the chart of
nuclides. The predictions of both TDHF and TDRPA are speculative, and will
benefit from future experimental results to test the validity of this approach
to studying MNT in heavy, symmetric collisions.
