Main result
Comparison with theory calculation (DNS)
Dinuclear system is formed at the initialstage of the reaction, kinetic energy istransferred into potential and excitation.
Necessary conditions:1. presence of a potential pocket;2. adequacy of the collision energy Ec.m to
overcome the interaction barrier

Solid line: potential well
The driving potential Udr(Z) is a curve linking minimums corresponding to each charge asymmetry Z in the valley of the potential energy surface from Z = 0 up to Z = ZCN.
The dinuclear system formed in the collision of two nuclei evolves to fusion by increasing its mass asymmetry. The evolution of the system along the mass asymmetry degree of freedom is described by the driving potential. A path to fusion is determined by potential energy surface.

Part III. The research of the surface property of nuclear potential by quasi-elastic scattering
Aim:
1. Research the difference of the diffuseness parameter extracted from fusion and elastic scattering.
2. Research the difference of the diffuseness parameter extracted from the spherical and deformed systems by using quasielastic scattering.

Part IV. The breakup threshold anomaly of 9Be+208Pb,209Bi.
The threshold anomaly (TA) comes from the coupled-channels (CC) effects and plays an important role in heavy ion reactions at the energies around Coulomb barrier.
How does the breakup of the weakly bound projectile affect the TA ?

No obvious 2He emission!
summary:
1. Both the elongated shape with small orientation angle at low energies and the large angular momentum partial waves at high energies lead to the quasi-fission (fusion hindrance). The contributions of fusion-fission and quasi-fission fragments are comparable.
2. The positive Q-value multi-neutron transfer really enhances the fusion cross section besides the couplings to the low inelastic states at sub-barrier energy region for 32S+96Zr system. But the transfer mechanism remains unknown.
3. For near-spherical systems, both single-channel and coupled-channels calculations give almost the same diffuseness parameters. The coupling effect is negligible. But For well-deformed systems, coupling effect is important. Coupled-channels calculations give smaller diffuseness parameters than the single-channel calculations and a better fitting to the experimental data.
4. Resolving the different threshold anomaly behaviors between 9Be+208Pb and 9Be+209Bi. It shows the breakup threshold anomaly.
5. It is found that 2He emission exists in the excited state of 29S but sequential proton emission in 28P and sequential alpha emission in 18Ne .
Challenge:
comprehensive description of the dynamical processes in the reactions!
