This is a quite interesting note, unfortunately rendered rather less
useful by the graphs, which have no axis names or units marked, and
which appear to have inconsistent scales (although this may simply be
lack of legibility). For example:
http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/scatter/rtdt1.gif
The units on the vertical axis appear to be labelled:
-0.0001 -5x10-6 0 5x10-6 0.0001
which I interpret as -100us, -5 us, 0, +5us +100us, but it appears to
be a linear axis. Is the 5x10-6 supposed to be 5x10-5? The character
needs serious improvement as it looks like 5x10-6 to me. But in any
case, as microseconds are referred to in the text, would it not be a lot
clearer if the graphs were also in microseconds, rather than some small
fraction of seconds?
Similar problems in:
http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/scatter/gps.gif
where the -5 and -6 suffices are very difficult to distinguish. I do
hope that Bill can re-do these graphs some time as it would enhance the
value of this work.
