Statistical variance reduction analysis in counting the highly overlapping nuclear tracks

Binomial distribution of Poisson statistics and tracks overlapping probability to estimate total tracks count with low uncertainty

“…Aforementioned requirements of these methods (Khayat and Afarideh, 2014;Khayat and Rahatabad, 2014) become more challenging in the cases where a portion of detector surface cannot be easily processed due to imaging or detector deficiencies. Besides, large surface areas of solid state detectors respective to the imaging area or geometry of the detector may make constraint to the track counting process.…”

“…Even in some cases, substantial statistical uncertainties due to the counting errors can make the results unaccredited. Khayat and Rahatabad (Khayat and Rahatabad, 2014) presented a statistical analysis on variance reduction for counting the highly overlapping nuclear tracks. However, their method requires an estimation of some measuring parameters as the average number of tracks in the overlapping objects and the number of overlapping tracks.…”
