  An increasing interest in multinucleon transfer processes in low-energy deep
inelastic (damped) collisions of heavy ions appeared in recent years is due, in
part, to by the possibility of using them as a method of production of heavy
neutron-enriched nuclei. Possible promising projectile-target combinations
include nuclei deformed in the ground state (e.g., actinides). Mutual
orientations of such the nuclei in the entrance channel of the reaction may
significantly influence the reaction dynamics. Available experimental data on
multinucleon transfer reactions with statically deformed as well as spherical
heavy nuclei 144Sm + 144Sm, 154Sm + 154Sm, 160Gd + 186W, and 208Pb + 208Pb/238U
have been analyzed within the developed model. A good agreement of the
calculated quantities with the corresponding experimental data is reached.
Special attention in the paper is paid to analysis of production possibility of
the neutron-enriched isotopes of heavy and superheavy elements in multinucleon
transfer processes in the 238U + 238U/248Cm/254Es collisions.
