spur. It can be seen from Figures 10 and 1 I , and similar figures for the molecular products, that the use of a 62.5-eV spur seems to give the best overall fit to the experimental data obtained with scavengers when a "typical" spur is modeled. It is expected that when LET effects are correctly included in the model the average spur will be closer to 40 eV as predicted by calculations of the energy loss of fast electrons.68
Conclusions The Laplace transform technique was found to be quite satisfactory in interconverting scavenger concentration dependence and time dependence studies on the radical and the molecular product yields in the radiolysis of water. Complications due to multiple dissociations appear to be unimportant. New formulas are presented which when properly parametrized to the experimental data on the scavenger concentration studies give time dependences accurate to within a few percent. The parameters for ea
