The cross section of the reaction 2ilAm(n, 2n), has been measured by the activation method in the range from 9.6 to 11.4 MeV, at the Tandem accelerator facility of NCSR Demokritos. Statistical model calculations in the framework of the Hauser- Feshbach theory have been performed, and the first results are presented. Experimental data on the neutron induced fission cross section of 241Am, have been used as a constraint for the calculations. The results of the investigation are presented in comparison with experimental data and previous theoretical evaluations.
