Abstract
THE effect of the linear energy transfer parameter of the radiation and of dose-rate on the radiolysis of aqueous solutions can be understood in terms of interactions between spurs along a track and between spurs on adjacent tracks1. In contrast the radiolysis of organic liquids shows: (1) no effect of linear energy transfer on pure alkane liquids2, although a slight effect has been found with solutions containing iodine3, and a pronounced effect with aromatic liquids4 (see also ref. 5); (2) effects at much lower values of dose-rate than in the case of aqueous solutions6.
