Figure 5
Average efficiency of the MYTHEN detector operated in SPC and ToT mode as a function of the rate for the different settings at 15 keV with the threshold set at 7.5 keV. The SPC data are fitted with equation (11) while the ToT data are fitted with equation (13). For high gain settings the data are fitted only up to 1 MHz since, for higher rates, saturation effects appear and the detector behavior deviates from the ideal paralizable detector.
