The probability density function of the arrival time of Cerenkov light
Abstract
The probability density function of the arrival time of Cerenkov light on a photo-multiplier tube has been studied. This study covers light production, transmission and detection. The light production includes the light from a muon, the light from a shower and the light due to the energy loss of a muon. For the transmission of light, the effects of dispersion, absorption and scattering in the medium are considered. For the detection of light, the angular acceptance and the quantum efficiency of the photo-multiplier tube are taken into account.
