  • System and method of extending the linear dynamic range of event counting
    Patent number: 10162942
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for photon, ion or particle counting described that provides seven orders of magnitude of linear dynamic range (LDR) for a single detector. By explicitly considering the log-normal probability distribution in voltage transients as a function of the number of photons, ions or particles present, the binomial distribution of observed counts for a given threshold, the mean number of photons, ions or particles can be determined well beyond the conventional limit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 12, 2017
    Date of Patent: December 25, 2018
    Assignee: Purdue Research Foundation
    Inventors: Garth Jason Simpson, Ryan Douglas Muir, David Joseph Kissick
