Lower bounds on scintillation detector timing performance
Fundamental method-independent linuts on the timing performance of scintillation detectors are useful for identifying regimes in which either present timing methods are nearly optimal or where a considerable performance gain might be realized using better pulse processing techniques . Several types of lower bounds on mean-squared timing error (MSE) performance have been developed and applied to...
متن کاملSemiconductor high-energy radiation scintillation detector
We propose a new scintillation-type detector in which high-energy radiation generates electron–hole pairs in a direct-gap semiconductor material that subsequently recombine producing infrared light to be registered by a photo-detector. The key issue is how to make the semiconductor essentially transparent to its own infrared light, so that photons generated deep inside the semiconductor could r...
متن کاملFundamental Limits to the Precision of Early Warning Systems for Epidemics of Infectious Diseases
Douglas G. Altman Editors of medical journals accept that published research should be open to comment and correction in published correspondence ([1]; Box 1). “Post-publication peer review” enables comments on, clarifi cations of, and corrections to published research. All journals should have a correspondence page for this purpose. I previously criticised the effective “statute of limitations...
متن کاملSpectrum Sensing: Fundamental Limits
Cognitive radio systems need to be able to robustly sense spectrum holes if they want to use spectrum opportunistically. However, this problem is more subtle than it first appears. It turns out that real-world uncertainties make it impossible to guarantee both robustness and high-sensitivity to a spectrum sensor. A traditional time-domain perspective on this is relatively straightforward, but t...
متن کامل2 00 6 Optical measurements of phase steps in segmented mirrors - fundamental precision limits
Phase steps are an important type of wavefront aberrations generated by large telescopes with segmented mirrors. In a closed-loop correction cycle these phase steps have to be measured with the highest possible precision using natural reference stars, that is with a small number of photons. In this paper the classical Fisher information of statistics is used for calculating the Cramér-Rao bound...
