Abstract: The fusion cross sections for reactions 50Ti + 249Cf, 54Cr + 248Cm, 58Fe + 244Pu and 64Ni + 238U are evaluated in the framework of simple barrier-penetration model, which takes into account quadrupole and hexadecapole surface deformations of nuclei.

Keywords: capture cross sections, synthesis of superheavy elements, transuranium elements, subbarrier tunneling, deformed nucleus, hexadecapole deformation.
