Figure 2
Pulse-height histogram of photons per synchrotron bunch. Dashed line – histogram of the digitized APD pulses showing the relative likelihood of 1, 2 and 3 photons per bunch arriving at the APD. The APD recorded air-scattered X-rays from an 8 keV synchrotron beam. Solid line – fit assuming a Poisson distribution with a mean value λ = 0.45 photons per bunch. Inset: digitized amplifier output for a 2 ms time window, recorded with a 50 MHz low pass filter to reduce baseline noise.
