FROM: Tom Armstrong
I need the final, authoritative version of the following Voyager parameters:
Nominal values are okay. Give your best estimates of uncertainties. Thanks.
| t | T | |
| A | (A·B coin.) | 70 ns |
| B | 70 ns | |
| d | 20 ns | |
| d' | 20 ns | |
| a | 2.4 ms | 1.5 ms |
| b | 2.4 | 1.5 ms |
| b' | 2.4 | 1.5 s |

| r = R / (1+RT) | 1 + RT = R/r RT = R/r - 1 T = 1/r - 1/R = (R-r) / Rr |
| Live time = | 1 - Rt |
| r = | R(1 - rT) |
| r = | R - rRT |
| R = | r(1 + RT) |
| r = | R / 1 + RT |
r = 100 k
R = 260 k
T = (260k - 100k) / (260k)(100k) = 160k / 260(100)kk = 1.6 / 260k = 1.6 / .26M = 6.15 ms
