Abstract
By optimizing experiments time and money can be saved. Optimization with respect to background measurements, dead time, and the mathematical presentation are discussed. In particular, it is shown that the application of the ratio (or quasiabsolute) method yields the smallest uncertainties because many correlated uncertainties cancel.
