MOCCA code for star cluster simulations - II. Comparison with N-body simulations

We describe a major upgrade of a Monte Carlo code that has previously been used for many studies of dense star clusters. We outline the steps needed in order to calibrate the results of the new Monte Carlo code against N-body simulations for large-N systems, up to N = 200 000. The new version of the...
