Excitation energy dependence of the cross sections of the reactions 208Pb126(50Ti28,1n)257Rf153 and 208Pb126(58Fe32,1n)265Hs157 is calculated and compared with the experimental data measured at GSI-Darmstadt. Such a dependence is also calculated for the reaction 208Pb126(86Kr50,1n)293118175 reported recently by the Berkeley group, and for reactions which may lead to the synthesis of element 119 and production of its odd-Z descendants. Recommendations for future experiments based on the present study are presented.
