As indicated by the least-squares linear fit (dashed red line), there is a strong linear relationship (\({R}^{2}=\) 0.9934) between the 252Cf source position, \(z\), and the mean dispersion variable, \(\bar{\xi }\). The respective fit parameters are shown in the inset. The source position error is ±0.1 cm, and the error bar shown for \(\bar{\xi }\) corresponds to the ±1σ width of the Gaussian distribution obtained from a least-squares fit to the respective histogram of 105 single-event \(\xi\) values.
