Abstract The (n, 2n) cross sections for about 80 nuclei ranging fromA=45 to 209 were calculated using the evaporation model. The calculation was performed for incident energiesE n which satisfy the conditionU R =E n +Q n ,2n=6±1 MeV. For 11 nuclei in the above mass region, (n, 2n) excitation functions were calculated from threshold to 20 MeV. In all calculations a single set of input parameters was consistently used. The influence of the level-density parameter and neutron cross sections on the evaporation model was tested. All calculated results were compared with experimental data. The systematic discrepancy between experimental data and evaporation calculations leads to the necessity of introducing the preequilibrium emission mechanism.
