Determination of the Crosslinking G-Factor for Polystyrene Using Ultra-Relativistic Electrons.

摘要

The crosslinking G-factor for polystyrene using 80-90MeV electrons was determined for comparison with the crosslinking G-factor determined using pile radiation with neutron energies up to 2MeV,and Co60gamma rays. The high energy electron source used was the N.P.G.S. linear accelerator. A G-factor of .035plus or minus .006was determined. This value is slightly lower than the value of .05plus or minus .01reported for pile and gamma radiation (1). (Author)
