title = "Monte Carlo simulation of the full multiplicity distributions measured with a passive counter",
abstract = "The objective of the work here is to validate the Monte Carlo code MCNP-PoliMi using comparisons with experimental data for the specific problem of neutron multiplicity counting with He-3 detectors. Measurements of various fissionable samples have been made with an active well coincidence counter (AWCC) operating in passive mode at the PERLA laboratory at Joint Research Center site in Ispra, Italy. The MCNP-PoliMi postprocessor was upgraded to explicitly simulate the deadtime in the PERLA measurement electronics. The results from MCNP-PoliMi have been compared to the measured data from 252Cf sources and several plutonium and plutonium oxide samples. Very good agreement between the simulated and measured multiplicity distributions has been observed for multiplet orders as high as 25.",
