It is shown that, when charged particles are identified by measuring their energy release in a thick scintillator, to achieve high accuracy, it is insufficient to determine efficiency by calculating the probability of interaction of a particle during its deceleration. It is also necessary to take into account the shape of the amplitude distribution of the signals from the scintillation counter and, in the process of identification, to place constraints on their amplitude. Corrections are made for the efficiency of identification of protons, deuterons, tritium, and /sup 3/He ions with various energies that can be used in various experiments.
