Timeline for Scintillator decay time=1000 nsec,does that mean dead time is really high?

| Feb 24, 2019 at 19:15 | comment | added | Betsy | thank you! i have a follow up question to this. does this mean the efficiency of a detector is inherently limited by its decay time no matter how well you improve geometry or allow better light collection? | |
