The response of anthracene to monoenergetic x-rays in the range from 9 kev to 24 kev in a scintillation detector has been investigated. The results show that the response to short-range electrons produced within the crystal by x-rays is about the same as the response to electrons with equal energy incident on the surface of the crystal. In agreement with previous results, the specific fluorescence (dL/dx) is smaller for slow electrons than for heavy particles of the same specific energy loss (dE/dx).
