Figure 2

Dead-time overlap effect. The probability per detection gate of one or more overlaps were simulated for different dead-times. The standard \(^{252}\)Cf multiplicity probability distribution17 was used to sample the multiplicity in a detection gate of 60\(\upmu\)s duration, with time distribution and background rate from the NeutronSTARS detector16. The results only include neutron-neutron and neutron-background overlaps since we are interested in how many real events are lost.
