New event-by-event fission models have prompt neutron and gamma-rays that are correlated in time, energy, and multiplicity, however there is limited measurement data available to validate these models. Measurement of high-order fission neutron and gamma-ray coincidences is difficult and there has previously been little motivation to measure properties of both particle types simultaneously. High-order Cf-252 spontaneous fission neutron and gamma-ray coincidences were measured with an array of 24 liquid organic and eight sodium iodide scintillation detectors. Measured coincidence data including neutron time-of-flight energy and measured gamma-ray pulse height distributions are compared with MCNPX-PoliMi simulation results from built-in and event-by-event fission models.

Abstract
New event-by-event fission models have prompt neutron and gamma-rays that are correlated in time, energy, and multiplicity, however there is limited measurement data available to validate these models. Measurement of high-order fission neutron and gamma-ray coincidences is difficult and there has previously been little motivation to measure properties of both particle types simultaneously. High-order Cf-252 spontaneous fission neutron and gamma-ray coincidences were measured with an array of 24 liquid organic and eight sodium iodide scintillation detectors. Measured coincidence data including neutron time-of-flight energy and measured gamma-ray pulse height distributions are compared with MCNPX-PoliMi simulation results from built-in and event-by-event fission models.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
