Abstract :
Recent results obtained on anthracene crystals make it possible to calculate the number of carriers created in polymers when they are subjected to high energy radiation. These results are described and applied to some recently reported measurements on polystyrene. Reasonable values are found for such quantities as carrier mobility and trap densities.
