Understanding Dead-Time in Radiation Systems by Nur Fatoni is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Dead-time refers to the time when a radiation detection system is unable to count real events due to being busy processing previous pulses or transferring buffered data. The dead-time percentage represents the effective count loss and can be calculated as the difference between the true count rate and observed count rate divided by the true count rate. Applying a dead-time correction provides the true count rate for an equivalent dead-time free system, however there is a caveat - a system with lower detecto
