Abstract
The formative time in a nitrogen-filled tube at pressure of 1.3 mbar w as determined using Laue distributions and histograms of the time dela y of electrical breakdown. It was shown that using these methods the f ormative time can be determined when it is of the same order of magnit ude as the statistical time delay. The obtained values are in good agr eement with the values which were measured by memory oscilloscope.
