Siegel, S; Flournoy, J M; Baum, L H

The electron-paramagnetic-resonance (EPR) spectra of both ice and deuterated ice which were subjected to gamma -irradiation at 4.2 deg K are presented and discussed. Experimental radical irradiation yields at 4.2 deg K are reported for the H/sub 2/0 system as a function of sustained irradiation dosage. A comparison between the yields at 4.2 and 77 deg K is given, and the resulting similarities are discussed in terms of intra-spur reactions. Preliminary evidence is presented for the existence of an isotope effect for the irradiation yields. (auth)
