−	The dark rate is calculated by multiplying these three factors together. It is the probability of an ~~event~~, multiplied by the rate at which ~~the probability is calculated~~, then multiplied by number of ~~places~~ that ~~this is occurring~~ simultaneously.	+	The dark rate is calculated by multiplying these three factors together. It is the probability of an state, multiplied by the rate at which electrons can enter that state, then multiplied by number of electrons that are participating simultaneously.
