Modeling and experimental research of the processes of radiation damage formation in the interaction of gamma quanta flows and relativistic electron beams with solution of organic dyes

Abstract

The processes of interaction of an aqueous solution of methylene blue (MB) organic dye ($C_{16}{H}_{18}{N}_{3}SCl$ ) with gamma quanta and electrons have been investigated. A model has been developed, and the passage of electrons with an energy of 15 MeV through tungsten layers with a thickness of 1...8 mm has been simulated. A number of experiments were carried out on the basis of the simulation results. Analysis of the calculated and experimental data showed that one incident electron destroys 4 times more dye molecules than one incident gamma-quantum.
