Abstract

Hydrogen formation from γ-radiolysis of gaseous propane at 120 ± 1 °C was studied as the function of density in the range from 0.1 to 0.5 g/ml. G(H₂) gradually decreased with density from 8.0 at 0.12 g/ml towards the liquid-phase value of 6.4 at room temperature. G(H₂) in the presence of SF₆ showed similar decrease from 3.9 to 3.0. The decrease was discussed in comparison to the abrupt drop in G-values from the radiolysis of ammonia at high density (11). The separation distances of ion–electron pairs were estimated from the analysis of the electron scavenging reaction.
