IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO DEAD-TIME LOSS COMPENSATING CIRCUITS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4231089

A dead-time loss compensating circuit is described for use with Geiger- Mueller tubes. The circuit generates pulses randomly and a gating arrangement admits those pulses which occur during dead-time to the counter. Thus, random pulses corresponding in mean frequency detector pulse account, on the average, for pulses lost during dead-time. (T.R.H.)
