Determination of the conversion gain and the accuracy of its measurement for detector elements and arrays

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Standard statistical theory is used to calculate how the accuracy of a conversion-gain measurement depends on the number of samples. During the development of a theoretical basis for this calculation, a model is developed that predicts how the noise levels from different elements of an ideal detector array are distributed. The model can also be used to determine what dependence the accuracy of measured noise has on the size of the sample. These features have been confirmed by experiment, thus enhancing the credibility of the method for calculating the uncertainty of a measured conversion gain.
