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.
