THEORETICAL EVALUATION OF THE VARIANCE FOR THE STATISTICAL CORRELATION METHOD FOR MEASURING DAUGHTER HALF-LIVES IN THE 10$sup -4$-10$sup -1$ SECOND RANGE. PART I
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4147658
The determination of half-lives in the 10/sup -4/ to 10/sup -1/ second range is considered for daughters in equilibrium with long lived parents without the count rate restrictions imposed on the usual delayed coincidence method by the occurrence of accidental coincidences. The variance and fractional standard devistion of the correlation measurement are theoretically evalaated for a radioactive source cascade with negligible background and conetant source strength, and the variance is determined for background activity with no cascade present.
