Excitation functions are predicted for the production of isotopes of a superheavy nucleus with charge number in the
-evaporation channels of the complete fusion reactions
Ca+
U for future experiments. The calculated production cross section of the
Cn isotope in the hot fusion reaction
Ca+
U is compared with the experimental one in the cold fusion reaction
Zn+
Pb. The strong correlation between the fusion probability and asymmetry in the entrance reaction channel is revealed. The possibility of filling the gap between the isotopes of superheavy nuclei with
produced in cold and hot fusion reactions is indicated.
