Abstract: I to the M/N ion pair yields of the early radiation chemist or to S» the quantum yield in a photochemical system.A distinction between tracks and spurs might be made here in order to make the discussion easier.A track is the path which a charged high energy particle takes through the system.Along this path the particle will leave small clusters of radicals and ions.It is such a cluster that one calls a spur.The distribution of spurs along a track is a physical phenomenon which one cannot alter but by increasing the temperature the rate of spur expansion may be altered.Further* by increasing the dose rate the distance from one track to another may be reduced.Thus* by combining dose rate and temperature as parameters in a radiolysis* the extent of spur overlap might be expected to vary.Such reasoning led to this thesis.After investigating several workers' results* it was concluded that a combined dose rate and tem perature study should yield some fruitful information.Gardner and Harper^ studied the effects of dose and dose rate on liquid chloroform.Their results are presented in Table 1.They further showed that the yields of products have no dependence on dosage up to doses of 180 Mrad.
