The temperature dependence of radiation sensitivity of large molecules |
|
| Authors: | E. S. Kempner Robert Wood Ronald Salovey |
| Abstract: | The change in radiation sensitivity with temperature is quantitatively the same for biological macromolecules and synthetic polymers. The mechanism(s) for this effect is (are) due to secondary processes occurring after the primary ionization and are associated with the presence of free radicals. |
