TI  - Evaluation of N50 neutron slab monitor detection efficiency with TRIPOLI-4.3 
      Monte Carlo code.
PG  - 369-74
AB  - Monte Carlo code TRIPOLI-4.3 has been used to evaluate the N50 neutron slab 
      monitor detection efficiency benchmark organised by the non-destructive assay 
      (NDA) working group of European Safeguards Research and Development Association 
      (ESARDA). The lattice geometry of TRIPOLI-4.3 was applied to simplify the 
      modelling of the N50 monitor, which consists of four 3He tubes embedded in a 
      high-density polyethylene (HDPE) moderator. Using additional HDPE slabs and/or Cd 
      sheets, 10 geometry configurations with different states of moderation were 
      considered in this study. Two cross section libraries from ENDF/B-VI.4 and JEF2.2 
      and three representations of the 252Cf fission spectrum were investigated and the 
      calculation experiment (C/E) ratios were discussed. The perturbation option was 
      used in order to study the sensitivity to the HDPE density. The S(alpha,beta) 
      thermal scattering in HDPE was also tested to quantify its impact on the N50 
      detection efficiency calculations.
