  Coincidence circuit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physics, a coincidence circuit is an electronic device with one output and two (or more) inputs.
The coincidence circuit was developed in 1924 by Walther Bothe to detect cosmic ray events, and other atomic and sub-atomic particles.
Hence use of a coincidence circuit greatly improves signal-to-noise ratio.

 Walther Bothe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Using this observation, he constructed the coincidence circuit allowing several counters in coincidence to determine the angular momentum of a particle.
Bothe's coincidence circuit was one of the first AND logic gate (1924).
Bothe began applying the coincidence method to the transmutation of light elements by the bombardment with alpha particles in 1927.

 CANBERRA Glossary - CANBERRA, An AREVA Group Company
Also referred to as true coincidence summing, it occurs when two or more pulses from the same decay are summed because they deposit energy in the detector at the same time.
A process where the signal from two or more gamma rays emitted by a single decay of a single radionuclide occur within the resolving time of the detector end up being recorded together as a single event so that the recorded event is not representative of the original decay.
Coincidence summing is a function of the sample-to-detector geometry, and the nuclide's decay scheme.

A general purpose "fast-slow" multiple coincidence circuit is described.
Three independent sets of fast coincidence conditions and three indpendent sets of slow coincidence conditions, involving up to five input signals, can be imposed simultaneously using a plug board and a set of patch cords.
Coincidence pulse timing is accomplished with the aid of a unique discriminator circuit which can be used to detect either an early point on the rise of the input signals or the time of input signal zero transition.

 Gas-Scattering Experiment - Electronics
The energy signals first go to an attentuating circuit (not pictured) that adjusts the voltage of the energy signals to correct shifting of the energy data over long periods of time.
The circuit is setup so that if the energy and lifetime signals arrive simultaneously (i.e., there is a coincidence), then the energy-lifetime pair of signals are given an identification number and are marked as being a coincidence.
After the data has passed through the coincidence circuit, it is sent to a digital I/O board from which our software takes in the data.

 ORTEC 414A Fast Coincidence
The term "fast" indicates the general nature of the coincidence circuit; that is, input pulses are reshaped, and the actual coincidence determination is made on the leading edge, or leading portion, of the pulses.
A dc-coupled anticoincidence input is provided to inhibit the coincidence output by a dc voltage or a pulse that overlaps the period of coincidence of the coincident pulses.
The coincidence inputs are ac-coupled, and all four inputs are controlled by In/Out toggle switches.

 Timing and Coincidence Counting - CANBERRA, An AREVA Group Company
A simple coincidence circuit solves this problem by essentially summing the two input pulses, passing the resultant sum pulse through a discriminator level, and generating an output pulse when the two input pulses overlap.
The use of a 2145 TAC with NaI detectors in exact analogy with the 2040 Coincidence unit is shown in Figure 1.33.
This is an example of a "fast-slow" coincidence system in which Model 2111 and 2126 constant fraction discriminators are used to indicate the presence of a pulse, and an energy range on the NaI detector is selected.

 Nat' Academies Press, Biographical Memoirs V.75 (1998)
The much finer time resolution of the Rossi coincidence circuit and its adaptability to the detection of coincidences among any number of pulses enabled the detection and identification of interesting rare events that produce coincident pulses in several counters in the midst of high rates of background pulses in each counter.
He explained how coincidence experiments had demonstrated that most of the local cosmic rays are charged particles with more energy than could possibly be released in the synthesis of the heaviest atoms.
He wrote (Rossi's translation from the original Italian): The frequency of the coincidences recorded with the counters at a distance from one another, shown in the tables as “chance coincidences” appears to be greater than would have been predicted on the basis of the resolving power of the coincidence circuit.

You can use circuit #2 too, but circuit #1 is the preferred detector in the "flux-mode".
