Allowance for distortions of time spectra obtained with parallel multistop time-to-number converters

The direct result of a neutron time-of-flight experiment is a time spectrum - graph of the number of registered neutrons N/sub i/ as a function of the number of the time channel i. Analytic expressions are given that allow for distortions of time spectra measured by parallel multistop time-to-number converters (MTNC) that are produced by counting errors under high MTNC loads. The limits of applicability of MTNCs are determined
