6 Cosmic Rate Accidental coincidence rate 17.07.2007 Rustem DZHELYADIN (CERN&IHEP, Protvino) Single counter rate (after shaper) was permanently recorded (N 1, N 2 ) 1.Accidental Rate evaluated : N acc = 2 N 1 N 2 = 30 ns (shaping time) 2.Accidental Rate measurement: T N acc = S1 (delay 155 ns) x S2 T – measurement time Shaping time was chosen 30 ns to exclude counters signal jitter at distances ≤ 2m ( ± 10 ns ) Typical single counter Rate was N ~ 30-100 Hz Both measurements coincide within statistical error
