Positron irradiation effect in polymers • Positrons emitted from 22Na induce irradiation damage in polymer - intensity of the longest-lived component I3 decreases gradually with the measurement time. • Small dose of irradiation deposing (~ 1kGy e+ and 102 Gy)– large effect on I3 = I3 (t) (t ~ 10 h) • 3 not effected by positronsourceirradiation M.

Positron irradiation effect in HDPE (0.960g/cm3)- present work Time dependence of the o-Ps intensity I3in HDPE (crystallinity 57%). Data collected at 300 K. The measurement was discontinued (sample separated from positron source) at point a) for 10 days, at point b) – for 2 days, and at point c) – for 17 days – process partially recoverable

Conclusions • The DFP model well described the HDPE lifetime spectra collected at room temperature • The positronium formation seems to be connected with positron trapping in free volume at vicinity of a negative charge • The decrease in efficiency of Ps formation with the time of measurement (=time of sample irradiation) is due to scavenging of quasi-free electrons by free radicals induced by the source irradiation
