Abstract:

The construction of a high-pressure cell for pulse-radiolysis experiments with 2 MeV electrons at pressures up to 200 MPa using optical UV-VIS detection is described. Details on the window construction are given, and typical results for the thiocyanate test system are presented. The cell enables systematic studies of the effect of pressure on pulse radiolytically induced reactions using lower energy accelerators than previously possible.
