Analytical results for the skewness of the distribution of detector counts in a subcritical reactor

We show analytical results for the skewness of the distribution of counts of a detector inside a nuclear reactor. Like in the α-Feynman experiment, the departure of the skewness with respect to its Poisson value depends only on the correlation between counts and the detector efficiency and not on th...
