How many neutrons are emitted when a californium-249 nucleus is bombarded with carbon-12 nucleus to produce a Rf nucleus?

In this nuclear reaction, the total number of neutrons emitted would depend on the specific reaction and energy of the collision. However, typically when a californium-249 nucleus is bombarded by a carbon-12 nucleus to produce a Rf nucleus, several neutrons are emitted in the process. The exact number of neutrons emitted can vary.
