Dependence on Pulse Height (Photon Energy)

 

There is a 10-20% increase in the dead time between 0.28 keV and 1.47 keV. This is most likely due to an increase in the fraction of ``double-triggers'' (i.e., events that cause a second trigger due to wiggles in the decay of the initial pulse) with increasing pulse height.
