Abstract Collisions induced by $^{9}$Be, $^{10}$Be, $^{11}$Be on a $^{64}$Zn target at the same c. m. energy were studied. For the first time, strong effects of the $^{11}$Be halo structure on elastic-scattering and reaction mechanisms at energies near the Coulomb barrier are evidenced experimentally. The elastic-scattering cross section of the $^{11}$Be halo nucleus shows unusual behavior in the Coulomb-nuclear interference peak angular region. The extracted total-reaction cross section for the $^{11}$Be collision is more than double the ones measured in the collisions induced by $^{9}$Be, $^{10}$Be. It is shown that such a strong enhancement of the total-reaction cross section with $^{11}$Be is due to transfer and breakup processes.
