THEORETICAL EVALUATION OF THE VARIANCE OF THE CORRELATION METHOD FOR THE TWOFOLD PROMPT RADIOACTIVE DECAY CHAIN WITH NONCONSTANT SOURCE

OSTI ID:4015870
A time correlation method for investigating two connected nuclear disintegrations is studied. The method permits the investigation of daughter activities in equilibrium with long lived parents without the count rate restrictions imposed on the usual coincidence method by the occurrence of accidental coincidences. The average value and variance of the correlation measurement are theoretically evaluated for the case of a prompt parent-daughter cascade with negligible background in which the parent decay during the experiment is not negligible.
