THEORETICAL EVALUATION OF THE VARIANCE OF THE CORRELATION METHOD FOR THE TWOFOLD PROMPT RADIOACTIVE DECAY CHAIN WITH NON-CONSTANT SOURCE (thesis)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4075001
The correlation function and the variance are developed for the two fold prompt, nonconstant source case. They are applicable to time correlation experiments in which the parent decays appreciebly in a twofold parent-daughter cascade. Both are shown to duplicate the constant source case when the parert's decay conatant is mnde sufficiertly small. A quasi-numerical check is presented to verify the expression obtained for the variance. (auth)
