Evaluation of the Correction Factor mu (Rho', tau') for the Periodic Pulse Method

摘要

The inconveniences associated with the purely numerical approach we have chosen to solve some of the problems which arise in connection with the source-pulser method are twofold. On the one hand, there is the trouble of calculating the tables for mu , requiring several nights of computer time. On the other hand, apart from some simple limiting values as mu = 1 for tau' = 0 or 1, mu = 1/0.5 + /0.5 - tau'/ for rho' implies 0 (and 0 < = tau' < = 1) and mu = 1 + 1/rho' for rho' >> 1, no appropriate analytical form for the correction factor mu of sufficient precision is known for the moment. This drawback, we hope, is partly removed by a tabulation which should cover the whole region of practical interest. The computer programs for both the evaluation of mu and the Monte Carlo simulation are available upon request. (Atomindex citation 11:500364)
