    Abstract

    The random contribution in positron lifetime spectra is fully described. It is shown that the typical observed horizontal plateau is only a low count rate limit of a more complicated shape and that the random contribution gives rise to some 'hidden' effects in a lifetime spectrum. The possible influence on the data analysis is discussed.
