Give a concise description of the benchmark

The Livermore Pulsed Sphere Program consisted of neutron time-of-flight measurements for spherical targets
bombarded with a centered, nominal 14-MeV neutron source. Spheres of many different elements and compounds were
used. These measurements provide a good set of benchmarks for neutron cross sections and transport codes. A subset
of these experiments have been chosen for Shielding Validation Test Suite for use with MCNP6. MCNP6 is used to
simulate the selected experiments and the results are plotted against the experimental data. An integrated value
is given for both calculated and experimental values.

Does the benchmark needs new types of plots?

TBC
