Abstract

After a brief historical overview, the major processes which lead to initial reactive species in the radiolysis of gases are summarized with a special view towards formation of positive ions, which initiate 55–85% of the observed chemistry. Approaches to the estimation of relative fragmentation probabilities in low pressure radiation chemistry are discussed, and the applicability of those obtained by mass spectrometry is discussed. The effect of density is presented in terms of the difference in lifetimes characteristics of the two techniques.
