摘要

Highlights?A model of radiolysis defect recombination in solid methane is shown.?The model is in good agreement with solid methane moderator test results.?Radiolysis defect recombination occurs at two different temperatures.?Results could be used for designing new methane moderators for neutron sources.?An application relating to cryo-volcanism on comets is discussed.AbstractThe effect of ionizing radiation on solid methane has previously been an area of interest in the astrophysics community. In the late 1980s this interest was further boosted by the possibility of using solid methane as a moderating medium in spallation neutron sources. Here we present test results of solid methane moderators commissioned at the ISIS neutron source, and compare them with a model based on the theory of thermal explosion. Good agreement between the moderator test data and our model suggests that the process of radiolysis defect recombination happens at two different temperature ranges: the “lower temperature” recombination process occurs at around 20?K, with the “higher temperature” process taking place between 50 and 60?K. We discuss consequences of this mechanism for the designing and operation of solid methane moderators used in advanced neutron sources. We also discuss the possible role of radiolysis defect recombination processes in cryo-volcanism on comets, and suggest an application based on this phenomenon.]]>
