Analysis of particles produced by oxidation of dilute xylene in air under electron beam irradiation

The generator of electron beams with energies of 55 keV (max.) and currents of 0.50 mA (max.) was developed as an irradiation source for the analysis of particles produced from aromatic hydrocarbons under EB irradiation. The oxidation process of o-xylene in air and the characteristic of particles produced from xylene were examined by EB irradiation. The particles of products were analyzed under less their coagulation. The use of this EB generator enables to examine the characteristics of particles under irradiation with their analysis immediately after irradiation.
