Abstract
Orphan source detection is hampered by fluctuations in the natural background. These fluctuations act as systematic errors that limit the effectiveness of large detectors during a search. Large detectors just map background variations more accurately, while small detectors are dominated by counting-statistics errors. This suggests that there is a maximum effective size for a search detector that occurs approximately where the two variances are equal.
