The proper voltage (about 2000 V) is obtained when the magnitude of the number of electron pairs is proportional to the x-ray energy of the incoming photon (just like a Si(Li) detector).
High count rate electron probe microanalysis by Herrington, Charles / Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology
The new calculations show in detail what other theorists previously sketched: that magnesium diboride contains two distinct families of electron pairs, one in which the electrons are weakly coupled and one in which they're strongly joined.
