Conversion of para- to orthohydrogen in a radiation field

Description

The radiation-induced conversion of para to orthohydrogen was investigated at pressures between 150 and 2200 psig (1 to 15 x 10/sup 6/ N/meter/ sup 2/) at three temperatures: 77 deg K (LN/sub 2/), 200 deg K (dry ice), and 300 deg K (ambient). Two radiation dose levels were studied: gamma rays only at 8 x 10/sup 6/ rads and a combination of 5 x 10/sup 14/ n/cm/sup 2/ E> 1 MeV, plus gamma rays at 8 x 10/sup 5/ rads. The conversion at LN/sub 2/ temperature was nearly zero in all cases. (auth)
