 Abstract.

The present paper deals with the investigation of hot GDR and quadrupole shapes of ^106,120Sn isotopes as a function of temperature and spin utilizing cranked quadrupole--quadrupole model interaction hamlitonian in the linear response theory and static path approximation to the grand canonical partition function.

Keywords:  Average nuclear shape; giant dipole resonance; static path approximation; linear response theory.
