Abstract
The invention relates to a method for quantifying emitting particles and for characterizing the time-dependent behavior of the particles. The number n of emissions of the particles in the measuring period that have been detected in a time interval having a predetermined interval width within the measuring period is ascertained, wherein the evaluation is performed particularly for a plurality of time intervals having the same interval width, with a distribution function p(n) for the number n of detected emissions being determined. For the interval width different bin times τ are stipulated, and, for each bin time τ, the evaluation is performed and a distribution function pτ(n) is ascertained, wherein, for each bin time τ, moments mi,τMess for the distribution function pτ(n) are ascertained, from which bin time dependent moment functions miMess(τ) are presented. Comparison with a theoretical signal function comprising moments misig(τ) for the theoretical signal distribution ascertains constants that characterize the particles in the system.
