Revision of the Model of Formation of Radiolytic Products in Aqueous Solutions

Mathematical model of formation of radiolytic products (e$\text{}_{aq}^{-}$, H, OH, H$\text{}_{2}$, H$\text{}_{3}$O$\text{}^{+}$, OH$\text{}^{-}$, Ps) in water is developed. It takes into account (1) reactions between dissolved scavengers of thermalized and hydrated electrons as well as epithermal ones; (2) ambipolar diffusion expansion of the intratrack species; (3) additional channels of Ps and H$\text{}_{2}$ formation due to appearance of weakly trapped electrons. Good agreement is obtained with experimental data on kinetics of accumulation of the products in pure water and their concentration variations in aqueous solutions.
