摘要
Monte Carlo track chemistry simulations were used to study the effects of high dose rates on the radical (e(aq)(-), H-center dot, and (OH)-O-center dot) and molecular (H-2 and H2O2) yields in the low linear energy transfer (LET) radiolysis of liquid water at elevated temperatures between 25 and 350 degrees C. Our simulation model consisted of randomly irradiating water with single pulses of N incident protons of 300 MeV (LET similar to 0.3 keV/lm), which penetrate at the same time perpendicular to this water within the surface of a circle. The effect of dose rate was studied by varying N. Our simulations showed that, at any given temperature, the radical products decrease with increasing dose rate and, at the same time, the molecular products increase, resulting from an increase in the inter-track, radical-radical reactions. Using the kinetics of the decay of hydrated electrons at 25 and 350 degrees C, we determined a critical time (tau(c)) for each value of N, which corresponds to the "onset" of dose-rate effects. For our irradiation model, tau(c) was inversely proportional to N for the two temperatures considered, with tau(c) at 350 degrees C shifted by an order of magnitude to shorter times compared with its values at 25 degrees C. Finally, the data obtained from the simulations for N = 2000 generally agreed with the observation that during the track stage of radiolysis, free radical yields increase, whereas molecular products decrease with increasing temperatures from 25 to 350 degrees C. The exceptions of e(aq)(-) and H-2 to this general pattern are briefly discussed.
