Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4070300
A review is given on the application and performance of scintillation counters. The particle energy losses in scintillators, conversion and optical efficiencies of scintillators, photoelectron yield, and electron multiplication are analyzed. Fluctuation in photomultiplier pulse amplitude, time characteristics, current shape, and pulse intensity are also considered. The problems of noise, power supply stability, and magnetic field and radiation effects are discussed. 69 references. (R.V.J.)
