Description

The behavior of recombinations of H+H→H2, H+T→HT and T+T→T2 in liquid helium at cryogenic temperature of 1.6 K was investigated under pressurized condition using radiochemical methods. It was found that the isotope ratios of H2, HT and T2 were changed with the pressure. The changes will contribute to the bubble formation, chemical potential and the effective masses of H and T. This work is a preliminary information to carry out chemical reactions in liquid helium. (author)
