The accepted mechanism of the radiolysis is given and discussed. Methods of determining the radical and molecular yields (per 100 ev of energy absorbed) are described. Primary and secondary ions formed in the path of an ionizing particle are defined as ionlc columns and models of such columns are contrasted. Special attention is focussed on the action of densely ionizing alpha particles from Po/sup 210/. It was found that the effective path-length of alpha particles was the controlling factor during the radiolysis of water. Yields of H/sup ./, OH/sup ./, and H/sub 2/O/sub 2/ evaluated in further studies, usi ng BETA particles from T/sup 3/, were between those obtained from the radiolysis with alpha particles from Po/sup 210/and with gamma rays from Co/ sup 60/. Comparison of the radiolyses of H/sub 2/O and D/sub 2/O with alpha and BETA particles, showed the concept of the ionic column to be the more probable one. Radius of the atomic column of D atoms in D/sub 2/O is thought to be greater than that of H atoms in H/sub 2/O. (OTS)
