New system for the reduction of dead time losses

A new method is described for reducing errors in measurements of random pulses rate due to dead time losses. It is based on the inverse of the process causing the error. The losses happen when two (or more) events are too close and produce one pulse. In the correction system some pulses are counted more than once according to a law similar to the one valid for the losses.
