Abstract
Within the framework of the two-center shell model, the influence of excitation energy and spin-orbit interaction on the potential energy surface and, accordingly, on the axially symmetric and mass-symmetric static fission paths selected on the basis of potential energy surfaces is considered. The relationship between the decay of shell corrections in the ground state and at the saddle point and the conservation of the fission barrier at moderate excitation energies of superheavy nuclei with atomic numbers , 114, 116, and 120 formed in a hot complete fusion reaction is discussed.
