Recent discussions lead me ask about a minor physics quandry I have.
I am working on software that simulates the acquisition and analysis
of an x-ray pulse processor data stream such as occurs in x-ray
microanalysis using an electron microscope (EDS, Energy Dispersive
Spectroscopy). The software will ultimately operate with a -real-
stream of data taking the place of the simulated stream.
The x-ray emission events in time are described by a Poisson process.
This is straightforward to simulate using a computer. However,
practicalities (limits on memory, etc) require that the pulse height
analysis data be recorded into finite arrays....
