Abstract
The kinetic energy distribution of emitted neutrons is analyzed for superheavy nuclei with \(Z > 118\). The level densities are calculated using the superfluid formalism with the single-particle energies obtained from the Woods–Saxon potential diagonalization at the ground state. The probability of realization of \(xn\) channel is calculated with Monte-Carlo method and compared with the analytical expression based on assumption of Maxwellian distribution for neutron kinetic energy.
