Abstract :
Transient pulses or spikes of current under direct applied fields were observed in LDPE (low-density polyethylene) following gamma irradiation in ambient air to doses between 104 and 106 Gy. This pulse activity is a function of field strength, dose, and temperature. It is concluded that the origins of the pulses are probably either gas production or charge generation
