To measure electron reactions on a picosecond timescale the investigators developed a picosecond pulse-conductivity technique, which makes use of the electron fine-structure pulses of our LINAC (pulse width 25 vs FWHM) to produce excess electrons and now detects changes in sample conductance under optimum conditions with an instrumental response of 18 ps. This resolution is in agreement with a theoretical estimate. This technique has been successfully applied to study excess electron reactions in solvents covering a mobility range from 0.24 to 100 cm/sup 2/V/sup -1/s/sup -1/; extension to lower mobility liquids seem possible.
