Reaction dynamics with light weakly bound Radioactive Ion Beams at near-barrier energies

In the present contribution, we will briefly present an overview of the last experimental results obtained by the Italian EXOTIC collaboration on the study of the reaction mechanisms around the Coulomb barrier with light weakly bound Radioactive Ion Beams. Several experiments have been performed by our group in different laboratories: at ANL (USA) and, more recently, at LNL (Italy) to study the system 17F+208Pb and at RIKEN (Japan) for the system 11Be+209Bi. A comparative discussion with the results obtained for other reactions induced by light weakly‐ and tightly‐bound projectiles will be finally given.
