Abstract
We present the results of measurements of the light yield dependencies for the plastic scintillators on magnetic field value and orientation . The magnetic field value was changed from 0 up to 3.8 T. Scintillato rs were irradiated by electrons (Cs-137 and Bi-207) and by alpha-parti cles (Am-241). The detected light spectra in the electron irradiating cases show two dependencies: the first one is dependence on the magnet ic field value only and the second-light output is dependent on the ma gnetic field orientation when the radioactive source is outside of the scintillator. The value and behavior of the first dependence agree wi th data published earlier. Under alpha-particle irradiation the light output does not depend on the magnetic field value and orientation pra ctically.
