Detection Rates for Surveys for Fast Transients with Next Generation Radio Arrays
We relate the underlying properties of a population of fast radio-emitting transient events to its expected detection rate in a survey of finite sensitivity. The distribution of the distances of the detected events is determined in terms of the population luminosity distribution and survey parameter...
