Abstract

In this paper, the probability density of the integrated output of a PMT is approximated by the Gaussian, Rayleigh, and Gamma probability densities. The accuracy of the approximations depends on the signal energy a: the Gamma distribution is accurate for all a, the Rayleigh distribution is accurate for small a (<1 photon) and the Gaussian distribution is accurate for large (> 10 photons).
