The technique of pulse radiolysis used in radiation chemistry is briefly described and some methods for analysing the kinetics of the data obtained are discussed. An X — Y reader, developed for digitising pulse radiolysis oscillograms, is described. The digitiser is interfaced to a Hewlett-Packard 9100B desk top calculator and plotter for simple kinetic analysis. Data can also be transferred to a CDC 6400 for more complex analysis.
