Abstract
We compared polystyrene and low-density polyethylene conductivity caus ed by continuous gamma-Co-60 radiation with acceleration by 7.7 MeV pr otons and 20 MeV alpha-particles. The conductivity dropped smoothly pe r unit dose rate due to rapid track recombination to produce charges i n the bulk polymer.
