Plateau characteristics of gas-filled and scintillation counters are discussed, and considerations are given to the derivation of plateau curves and their interpretation. It is significant that a long plateau provides latitude in both voltage setting and the drifts in power supply and photomultiplier sensitivity. Since photomultiplier gain changes during tube life, any platcau- length requirement for scintillation counters should be judged by the amount of change in gain that can be tolerated. Scintillation counting plateaus dcpend on crystal size, radiation source, and background scattering as well as the counting performances of photomultipliers. (J.H.M.)
