Coloration of glass by high energy radiation

Author

Thomas L. Nickens

Abstract

"Purpose of Investigation: One of the objects of this investigation is to determine the amount of CeO₂ required to prevent the discoloration of glass when exposed to gamma radiation. By discoloration, it is meant that there has been a change in the absorption bands of visible light. Another objective is an attempt to prevent the coloration by the introduction of two oxides not previously used. Finally, a theory is presented which could explain why glass containing CeO₂ does not change color upon irradiation by gamma rays"--Introduction, page 1.
