Bemerkungen zu den reaktionen von radikalen oder angeregten wassermolekülen in den spuren ionisierender teilchen
The yield of nitrite in beta irradiation of concentrated nitrate solutions was measured. The nitrite in these solutions is produced by the indirect effects of radicals or, in a given case, activated water molecules and by the direct radiation effect on nitrate ions. The effect of pH probably becomes important only in the secondary reactions beyond the path of the ionizing particle.
