Abstract
A post-processing code has been developed to simulate third-order time-correlation measurements with MCNP-PoliMi. The three-way coincidence distribution is measured using three detectors: typically three liquid or plastic scintillators, or a timed source and two liquid or plastic scintillators. In the experiments considered here, the scintillators are sensitive to fast neutrons and gamma rays, and the correlations are performed with nanosecond resolution. The code allows the user to split the total signature into its components. One split is performed according to the particle types that were detected, and another is performed according to the generation number of the particles detected.
