Unusual crosstalk in coincidence measurement searches for quantum degeneracy

Abstract: A dip in coincidence peaks for an electron beam is an experimental signature to detect Coulomb repulsion and Pauli pressure. This paper discusses another effect that can produce a similar signature but that does not originate from the properties of the physical system under scrutiny. Instead, the detectors and electronics used to measure those coincidences suffer significantly even from weak crosstalk. A simple model that explains our experimental observations is given. Furthermore we provide an experimental approach to correct for this type of crosstalk.
