The radiolysis of methane was effected by varying some little studied parameters: temperature, pressure, and intensity. In all cases, the principal products formed are hydrogen, ethane, and a heavy liquid. The effect of the intensity is practically zero. That of the temperature depends on the dose received by the methane. High pressures of the order of 300 atm causes a decrease in the radiolysis yield. These results are studied in the discussion. Experiments made in the presence of xenon favor the hypothesis of a radical mechanism for the radiolysis of methane rather than an ion-molecule mechanism. (tr-auth)
