We have performed self-consistent Skyrme Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov calculations for nuclei close to 254No. Self-consistent deformations, including β2,4,6,8 as functions of the rotational frequency, were determined for even-even nuclei 246,248,250Fm, 252,254No, and 256Rf. The quasiparticle spectra for N=151 isotones and Z=99 isotopes were calculated and compared with experimental data and the results of Woods-Saxon calculations. We found that our calculations give high-order deformations similar to those obtained for the Woods-Saxon potential, and that the experimental quasiparticle energies are reasonably well reproduced.
