Abstract
Low temperature ultrasonic attenuation measurements of neutron irradiated quartz are reported. The results of a systematic study for four neutron doses and five frequencies have been analysed in terms of the tunnelling model originally proposed for glasses. It is found that the coupling of the tunnelling states with the phonons is smaller than in vitreous silica and increases with neutron dose.
