Abstract
The γ-ray irradiation conditions for the valid application of the Bragg-Gray relation, which relates the energy deposition in a solid to the ionization in an air-filled cavity, are examined with particular reference to some published experiments on the yield of the radiation-induced oxidation of ferrous sulphate. It is pointed out that experiments in which divergent radiation is used will give a higher oxidation yield than the relation indicates. A quantitative treatment is advanced which accounts for the discrepancies between certain experimental results.
