Correlations between the intensities measured by the upstream and downstream diodes of (a) the first pulse and (b) the second pulse at argon gas pressure P = 0 hPa. The slope is a measure of the transmission, amounting to 〈T1〉 = 97.5% for the first pulse and nearly identical 〈T2〉 = 97.6% for the second pulse as expected. The very slight difference from unity is considered as a systematic error of the detection scheme. The red line for the first pulse was overlaid in (b) to stress the similarities between the transmissions of the two pulses. |
