Dependence of the rms on the relative contribution of the source in a given energy range to the total count rate. The 132 simulations that compose this plot show how the rms drop is stronger if the source signal dominates the total signal, since the source signal contributes more to the total dead time. The solid black line shows Equation (6). It is not a fit.
