Assessment of the statistical uncertainty affecting a counting; Evaluation de l'incertitude statistique affectant un comptage

Abstract

After a recall of some aspects regarding the Gauss law and the Gauss curve, this note addresses the case of performance of a large number of measurements of a source activity by means of a sensor (counter, scintillator, nuclear emulsion, etc.) at equal intervals, and with a number of events which is not rigorously constant. Thus, it addresses measurements, and more particularly counting operations in a random or statistical environment. It more particularly addresses the case of a counting rate due to a source greater (and then lower) than twenty times the Eigen movement. The validity of curves is discussed.
