Figure 15: Plateau curve with organic scintillator (LB 5430)
Plot the count rate vs. the high voltage, as shown in the diagram above.
If the count rate in the flattest part of the curve changes
a) by more than 5% per 100 V high voltage for the LB 5402,
b) by more than 15% per 100 V high voltage for the LB 5430,
the scintillation counter will operate unstable. The detectors or at least the crystal
