Abstract
Energy straggling in pulse height distributions of plastic scintillati on counters of 4 and 10 cm in thickness was measured for 1 GeV/c pions and studied by Monte Carlo simulations. Calculated energy loss distri butions are in good agreement with the experimental data and also with the prediction by the Landau straggling function.
