The quenching parampter kB in the equation for the specific fluorescence dS/dx = A(dE/dx)/STA1 + kB(dE/dx)! was determined for a number of different samples of plastic scintillator NE102. Gamma rays and alpha particles were used, and for one sample a check using recoil protons from neutron collisions was made. The alpha particle runs gave a kB value of 0.0095 0.0008 cm plastic/ Mev (0,0698 0.0006 g/cm/sup 2/ Mev), while the recoil proton run gave a kB value of 0.0088 0.0006 cm plastic/Mev (0.0091 0.0006 g/cm/sup 2/ Mev). It is believed that the latier result is more reliable than the one obtained with alpha particles. Both are in agreement with the data of Evans and Bellamy, but Daehnick and Fowler's low results remain unexplained. (D.L.C.)
