Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The radiation-induced conductivity of some polymers is investigated under pulse irradiation conditions in vacuum at room temperature. Two mechanisms of radiation-induced conductivity are shown to be operative in polymers. One due mainly to free charge carriers escaping geminate recombination and partly to electrons generated in short tracks and the other associated with geminate electrons localized at deep traps. It is noted that non-Gaussian dispersive transport of charge carriers accounts well for the major features of radiation-induced current transients in polymers.
