  Experimental joint multiplicity distributions of neutrons and charged
particles emitted in complex nuclear reactions provide an important test of
theoretical models. The method is applied to test three different theoretical
models of nuclear multi-fragmentation, two of which fail the test. The
measurement of neutrons is decisive in distinguishing between the Berlin and
Copenhagen models of nuclear multi-fragmentation and challenges the
interpretation of pseudo- Arrhenius plots. Statistical-model evaporation
calculations with GEMINI give a good reproduction first and second moments of
the experimental multiplicity correlations.
