Several interesting problems in the field of radiation chemistry occur in the time interval from 0.01 to 1 nsec following the passage of an ionizing particle. Existing pulse-radiolysis systems are unable to investigate these problems because their time resolution is limited to about 1 nsec. In this paper a new technique is described which is theoretically capable of observing transient absorption signals as short-lived as 0.02 nsec. This technique will use the Cerenkov light produced by the 30-MeV electron beam from the Toronto linear ac-celerator to detect the absorption of transient species produced by the fine-structure pulses (0.01 nsec wide) of the electron beam. A stroboscopic effect is created by varying the phase difference between the Cerenkov light flashes and the fine-structure electron pulses. With this technique a conventional slow detection system can be used to achieve a time resolution of0. 02 nsec. Experimental observations indicate that such a detec-tion system is completely practical, although no short-lived transients have yet been observed.
