Abstract
The pulse‐height distribution at the output of an electron multiplier structure for a single electron input has been calculated assuming a Poisson distribution at each stage. Graphs are given which illustrate the change in pulse‐height distribution as a function of the number of stages. This has been done for interstage multiplications of 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, and 5.0.Keywords
