Abstract
The isothermal luminescence at 77 K of gamma-irradiated high density polyethylene, both with and without introduced admixtures (n-hexane, naphthalene) has been measured. The spectrum of emitted light was recorded and found to be identical with that of added compound. A reaction mechanism responsible for the isothermal luminescence consistent with the experimental results is proposed.
