Abstract:The exact mathematical description of processes at registration of incident particles by a scintillation spectrometer with several photodetectors allows receiving correct formulae for the mean value and the variance of the
amplitude at the output of photodetectors, and for the covariance between signals of photodetectors. It was shown that using the relative covariance of signals allows the experimental determination of the covariance in the light yield and the Fano factor in a scintillator. The important adva… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
