Un escadron d’hélicoptères embarqué à bord d’un porte-avions pouvait affecter des appareils par roulement entre le navire et la zone de contact, mais un destroyer ne pouvait le faire, car son seul hélicoptère devait revenir au navire de temps en temps pour refaire le plein. C’est ce que l’on appelle le «temps mort»; c’était une période au cours de laquelle le sous-marin surveillé avait une chance de s’échapper. 1, record 1, French, - temps%20mort

… after the charge cloud caused by a particle interacting with the MCP [microchannel plate chevron pair] reaches the anode, there is a certain amount of electronic amplification and other processing to produce a signal suitable for acceptance/rejection as a “count.” The processing electronics require a finite time, known as a “dead time” to deal with this activity and are unable to register subsequent counts while they are doing so, hence the term, “dead time.” 1, record 2, English, - dead%20time
