[gate-users] Counts vs. time slice

That's good to know, but unfortunately, I'm looking to specify the
number of Coincidence events - the number of annhilations should be the
same as the time multiplied by the source strengths added up, right? 
So, unfortunately this doesn't get me a known number of Coincidence
events (that's based on sensitivity - something that I don't know a
priori).

Thanks for trying though! :)
