| 6 | | Often \(\phi(E)\) is also referred to as \(\frac{dN}{dE}\) as observation time and effective collection area is a constant. The effective Area is then defined as \(A_\textrm{eff}(E)=\epsilon(E)\cdot A_0\). Note that at large distances the efficiency vanishes, so that the effective area is an (energy dependent) constant while \(A_0\) and \(\epsilon\) are mutually dependent. |
