The radiation activity is very high, thus there are</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>lots of random coincidences (accidental coincidences) in the totoal</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>coincidences. Now I do the statistics on these random coincidences according</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>to the sector index, then I found that the coincidences between 2 opposite rsectors </FONT><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>(e.g. No.0 and 15, or No.5 and 20) are much more than the coincidences between other</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>2 sectors ( No. 0 and 14, or No. 0 and 16 ...) Usually the difference can be 50% or 100% depend on the thickness of the detector.
