The radiolysis of liquid acetone with Co/sup 60/ gamma radiation at a ambient temperature was investigated and an attempt made to measure all of the products formed over a wide dose range. Product distribution indicates that carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds are broken, but there is little attack on the carbonyl group. The results can be interpreted using radical reactions only if it is postulated that some of these occur in spurs. Ion-molecule reactions and unimolecular dissociation of excited molecules appear to play little part in the overall mechanism. (auth)
