41. The effective length of the charge detection cylinder was determined using two identical detectors separated by 11.1 cm. For individual droplets that passed through both detectors we determined the times spent in both detectors (i.e. the times between the centers of the entrance and exit pulses) along with the time spent traveling between the detectors (i.e. the time between the centers of the entrance pulses for both detectors). With this information, and knowledge of the geometry, the effective length can be determined.
