Abstract

An electrometer is employed to investigate dead time effects in scaling and multiscaling. The electrometer method as presented gives accurate values for the dead time over a wide range of counting rates. An expression is also developed for the ``between channel'' dead time of a multiscaler, and a simple method of determining this time is also given. The technique as outlined allows the exact determination of the nonlinearity caused by dead time losses.
