Popis: The process of particle passage through a substance is random, hence the readings of a detector recording the radiation are a random variable. Equations are derived in this paper for the probabilistic characteristics of the detector readings and a relationship is established between these characteristics and the mean values for whose computation the ordinary apparatus of transport theory can be used.
