Abstract
An analytical expression for the prompt time response is compared with available data of prompt cures using surface-barrier detectors, yielding a relation for T½ = 0.33 τ1/√n = 0.40 τ2 τn/N where τ1, τ2 rise and decay times of single-electron response, n/N is the optimum value at minimum time resolution. A preliminary method is proposed for computing the plasma time in these detectors.Keywords
