29 Measurement of noise rate ・・・ 5/Time time If 1p.e noise is defined as the integral value of signals over the threshold on 0.5p.e, noise rate is changed by the gate length that used in measurement. On the other hands, P(n) is defined as the integral value of n p.e signals and if noise is defined as Σn ・ P(n), we cannot distinguish 2 noise from the influences of cross-talk.

Noise rate Why noise rate is differ when we measured noise rate by 2 methods, Scalar and ADC distribution?  the influence of after pulse Noise rate measured by ADC distribution is the rate of 1p.e pulse come from the Geiger discharge by thermo electron. The other hands, noise rate measured by Scalar may contain the influence of after pulse, and therefore this value is higher. After pulse 0.5p.e In Scalar, it seem to be 2 noises. In ADC distribution, it seem to be 1 noise.
