Sry for asking a photochemistry question here but I couldn't find an AAC chemistry forum
Anywho since HP the x-ray guru is gone fishing I hope someone here can help me?
After total exposure of around 100,000 Gy (extrapolated from electrostatic dosimeter readings) to 120 kev energy, initially clear pyrex is almost totally opaque to optical wavelengths b/c of solarization. I know it's a well known phenomenon but I can't find a resource that explains the actual chemical changes? If anyone here has technical details or knows where I can find them I'll be grateful for your sharing!
