Abstract
Photomultiplication is considered as a branching process. The output current of the photomultiplier is studied as a function of the statistical distributions of photon emission, electron flight times, and secondary emission yields. Expressions are derived for the timing accuracy of photomultipliers and scintillation counters.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
