Abstract
Unlike photochemistry that acts on a substance by using only photons of a relatively low, some 1–10 eV energy, the radiation chemistry makes use of high energy particles (102 to 107 eV). These comprise: γ-quanta, fast electrons, fast nuclei, protons, deuterons, tritons, α-particles, fission fragments and neutrons. (For a detailed description of ionizing radiation sources and of their use in radiation-chemical studies see [60, 502].)
