Analysis of Multi-exponential Decay Curves

Abstract: The contributions of cascades to multi-exponential decay curves are analysed. We define the quantitative cascade contribution to an exponential decay as the replenishment ratio, which is the ratio of the cascade repopulation rate to the decay depopulation rate. We recommend that this ratio be quoted in future papers on beam-foil or other cascade-affected decay measurements. We also present specific relationships between the fitting parameters and the level populations for decay curves which arise from electric… Show more

“…When simulations are completed, we perform the following multi-exponential fit (Curtis, Berry & Bromander 1970; Pezzi et al. 2016 a ) of the entropy growth to point out the presence of several characteristic times: being the th characteristic time, the growth of entropy related to the characteristic time and is evaluated through a recursive procedure.…”

“…the electrical time constant associated with a switch capacitor network or integrator of a continuous bias system. However, extraction of two time constants from a data set is non-trivial and may only succeed under certain conditions [39,42]. We believe that our hardware provides enough timing precision if appropriate algorithms can be found to perform the parameter extraction.…”
