Walther Bothe and Bruno Rossi: the birth and development of coincidence methods in cosmic-ray physics
TL;DR: The Rossi coincidence circuit as discussed by the authors was developed by Bruno Rossi, who developed a vacuum-tube device capable of registering the simultaneous occurrence of electrical pulses from any number of counters with a tenfold improvement in time resolution.

Walther Bothe and Bruno Rossi: The birth and development of coincidence methods in cosmic-ray physics
TL;DR: In this paper, the arrangement of arrays of counters, absorbers, and electronic recording circuits became standard in cosmic-ray studies, as well as in nuclear and particle physics, and the coincidence technique became one of the basic tools in experimental physics.

The Decay of “Mesotrons” (1939–1943), Experimental Particle Physics in the Age of Innocence
TL;DR: The first unambiguous evidence of the spontaneous decay of "mesotrons" was reported in this article, which showed that this decay occurred according to an exponential law, as expected, and measured the mean life with a 3% accuracy.

Experimental Determination of the Disintegration Curve of Mesotrons
Bruno Rossi,Norris Nereson +1 more
TL;DR: The disintegration curve of mesotrons has been experimentally determined by investigating the delayed emission of disintegration electrons which takes place after the absorption by matter as mentioned in this paper, which corresponds to a mean lifetime of 2.3 microseconds.
