Models for dead time corrections at X and Gamma ray detectors

Electronic devices are used for detection of radiation due to x or gamma rays. The dead time of the counting system is based on time limitations of these electronic devices that used at the counting system. In this study, an analytic equation for the dead time of the counting system was formulated. Counting losses were determined by this dead time formula. In according to counting losses, integral and differential corrections based on the live time of the counting system were proposed. Each this models was applied to different spectrum samples. Calculations from corrected spectrums were found to be closer to theoretical calculation
