Dark Rate = X events/second
Dark Rate = Probability of occurance * Volume of Sensitive area * Rate of redistribution of energy (collisions)
P r o b a b i l i t y = e − E g / k T {\displaystyle Probability=e^{-E_{g}/kT}}
E g S i l i c o n = 1.12 e V {\displaystyle E_{g}Silicon=1.12eV}
k = 1.3806503 ∗ 10 − 23 m 2 k g s − 2 K − 1 {\displaystyle k=1.3806503*10^{-23}m^{2}kgs^{-2}K^{-1}}
P r o b a b i l i t y = e − 1.12 / 1.381 − 23 ∗ t {\displaystyle Probability=e^{-1.12/{1.381^{-23}*t}}}
