A framework for interpreting fast radio transients search experiments: Application to the V-FASTR experiments

A framework for interpreting fast radio transients search experiments: Application to the V-FASTR experiments

We define a framework for determining constraints on the detection rate of fast transient events from a population of underlying sources, with a view to incorporate beam shape, frequency effects, scattering effects, and detection efficiency into the metric. We then demonstrate a method for combining...
