Abstract
A digital coincidence method is described in which the amplitude is digitized and the time of each pulse from the ionizing radiation detectors is recorded. The features of the processing of the digital amplitude-time measurement data are described in detail. It is shown that the digital coincidence method has a time resolution defined solely by the resolving power of the detectors.
