Figure 4
Graph of calculated available dynamic range versus bunch separation. Dynamic range is displayed on a log base-2 scale for comparison with standard CCD bit depths. The graph shows the effect of bunch separation (from 100 ns to 1000 ns) on the maximum dynamic range available in an experiment, calculated from the modelled scintillator response. As the bunch separation is decreased (decreased possible interframe time) the scintillator emission has less time to decay, leading to a reduced dynamic range between bunches and poorer contrast. LuI₃:sc and LuI₃:mc refer to the single-crystal and micro-columnar forms of LuI₃, respectively.
