Estimation of the false detection of X-ray and gamma-ray transients
Abstract
Various questions associated with the false detection of X-ray and gamma-ray sources in spaceborne experiments are examined. The probability of false detection is estimated for a device with a fixed threshold for various numbers of detectors on one spacecraft or several spacecraft, and for various numbers of tests.
