Abstract
The kinetics of recombination of H and OH radicals, formed in liquid water along the track of a densely ionizing particle in the manner suggested by Samuel and Magee, have been studied using an electronic computer. The variation in yields with track density is in good qualitative agreement with experiment. Arguments are advanced to show that the energy required to produce one effective radical pair in liquid water is about 20 ev. Discussions are presented of the effects of scavenger concentration and its depletion at the center of the track, track diameter, the value of the rate constant for the recombination of H atoms and OH radicals, and the value of G(−H2O) as a function of track densityKeywords
