Kuppermann, A

The number of ferric and cerous ions produced in ferrous and ceric sulfate dosimeters, per 100 ev of absorbed energy, depends on the quality of radiation used. In a detailed interpretation of this variation of yield with radiation quality, the solution to a diffusion-kinetic equation for a one-radical model was combined with a consideration of the spectrum of local energy dissipation. The mathematical formulation of the one-radical model and the results of calculations for gamma rays, alpha particles, and beta particles are given. The large disagreement with experimental results was considered to be due to the unrealistic model used. (M.C.G.)
