3. Quasifission is a binary process producing two reaction products in heavy ion collisions. The basic difference between fusion fission and quasifission is that compound nucleus formation is not achieved in the latter mechanism. Quasifission can be thought of as a bridge between deep-inelastic scattering, where the relative kinetic energy between the fragments can be partially damped, but the mass asymmetry of the entrance channel is mostly preserved, and compound nucleus fission reactions.

9. Progress in study of the quasifission reactions The mass distribution of the quasifission products is peaked near the masses of the target and of the projectile. The fraction of the mass distribution located at symmetry is relatively small. The fragment kinetic energies are characteristic of the Coulomb repulsion of fission fragments. The angular distributions are peaked in the vicinity of the grazing angle. Phys.Rev.Lett. 36, 18 (1976)

13. 13 Dynamics of complete fusion and a role of the entrance channel in formation of reaction products in heavy ion collisions are questionable or they have different interpretation still now. For example, -- what kind of fusion mechanism makes a main contribution to the formation of compound nucleus: the increase of the neck between interacting nucleus, or multinucleon transfer at relatively restricted neck size, or + ? The details of angular momentum distribution of dinuclear system and compound nucleus those determine cross sections of evaporation residue, fusion-fission and quasifission products; The theoretical and experimental studies are important in order to clarify the origin of fission events (CN-fission against quasifission), namely, to separate fusion-fission fragments from the quasifission and fast- fission products. What is questionable in fusion-fission reactions ?

53. Conclusions 1.One of version of the dinuclear system model is being developed to study entrance channel dynamics of heavy ion collisions at the near Coulomb barrier energies. 2.Dynamics of the macroscopic and microscopic degrees of freedom can be calculated by analysis of the coupling term connecting them. As a result we find transport coefficients for the relative motion. 3.Method developed by us allows to calculate partial and total cross sections of the capture and fusion of colliding nuclei, as well as decay of the formed dinuclear system (quasifisson). 4.The angular momentum distribution of the compound nucleus is used by the advanced statistical code to calculate the evaporation residue cross sections, particularly, the cross sections synthesis of superheavy nuclei. 5.The anisotropy in the angular distribution of the fusion-fission and quasifission fragments can be is studied by analyzing the angular-momentum distributions of the dinuclear system and compound nucleus which are formed after capture and complete fusion, respectively.
