Method for effective dead time measurement in counting systems
The counting losses introduced by the dead time of a counting system are a limiting factor in counting measurements. The purpose of this work is to report an efficient method for the measurement of the effective dead time of a counting system and to characterize its dead time behavior, providing a way to investigate each experimental situation. The method, which we designate as Delayed and Mixe...
متن کاملTime-Correlated Single Photon Counting
Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy is a powerful analysis tool in fundamental physics as well as in the life sciences. Implementing it in the time domain requires recording the time dependent intensity profile of the emitted light upon excitation by a short flash of light, typically a laser pulse. While in principle, one could attempt to record the time decay profile of the signal from a s...
متن کاملAZ Comparison of Deadtime Correction Factors for Passive Neutron Multiplicity Counting of Correlated and Non - Correlated Neutron Sources - 9298
Traditional deadtime correction methods for Passive Neutron Multiplicity Counting (PNMC) have been found to be potentially accuracy limiting at high average (or sustained) count rates and in the case where highly correlated rates occur over a short coincidence gate width (high instantaneous rates associated with high multiplicity bursts). It is costly to retrofit new hardware to existing assay ...
متن کاملParameter Estimation for the Wiener Dynamic System With Unmeasured Continuous-Time Correlated Stochastic Disturbances
Unmeasured disturbances in chemical processes are often not stationary and frequently have a time-correlated, continuous-time (CT), stochastic behavior. The common way of addressing this type of disturbance is to treat it discretely as a noise component of the output. Not only can this treatment lead to inaccuracy caused by a discrete approximation of CT noise, but it requires a constant sampli...
متن کاملTime-of-Flight Optical Ranging System Based on Time-Correlated Single-Photon Counting.
The design and implementation of a prototype time-of-flight optical ranging system based on the time-correlated single-photon-counting technique are described. The sensor is characterized in terms of its longitudinal and transverse spatial resolution, single-point measurement time, and long-term stability. The system has been operated at stand-off distances of 0.5-5 m, has a depth repeatability...
