Our array of detectors has a highly non-uniform neutron efficiency and acceptance w.r.t. neutron-neutron opening angle ([math]#theta_{n-n}[/math]). This is due to the array's non-spherically symmetric geometry, and to its neutron detection efficiency as a function of both particle position and energy (see figure). For this reason, every measured distribution is made meaningful by the normalizing against another distribution. For [math]#theta_{n-n}[/math]

Measured opening angle distribution of uncorrelated neutrons from Cf252 target.
