捕捉剤を用いた収量測定とモンテカルロ法トラック構造シミュレーションを補完的に用い、高エネルギー重粒子線による水の放射線分解について調べた。さまざまな濃度(0.01$$sim$$2M)のギ酸ナトリウムを含む0.25mMのメチルビオローゲン(MV)水溶液を脱気して照射に用いた。照射には放射線医学総合研究所HIMACからのHe, C, Ne, Si, Ar, Feイオンビームを、核子あたり135$$sim$$500MeVのエネルギーで用いた。ギ酸濃度を変化させた際のメチルビオローゲンラジカルカチオン(MV$$^{+.}$$)生成収量を測定し、トラック内における水分解ラジカルのMV$$^{+.}$$への転換について議論を行った。さらに、より定量的に議論するため、カナダ・シャーブルック大学のグループが開発したモンテカルロ計算コードを用い、測定結果の再現も試みた。

Water radiolysis with high-energy heavy ions has been investigated through combination of yield measurement with scavenging method and track-structure simulation based on Monte-Carlo method. Deaerated aqueous solutions of 0.25 mM methyl viologen (MV) containing various concentration of sodium formate were irradiated with He, C, Ne, Si, Ar and Fe ions of 135-500 MeV per nucleon provided from HIMAC at NIRS, Japan. By changing formate concentration, yield of MV$$^{+.}$$ was measured for the abovementioned heavy-ion beams. Then, the yield of MV$$^{+.}$$ increased with decreasing LET and with increasing formate concentration. This fact shows that consumption of water radicals in intra-track reactions with time occurs and becomes more and more significant with increasing LET. In order to discuss more quantitatively, Monte-Carlo simulation code for water radiolysis with heavy ions named IONLYS-IRT, which has been developed by a group of University of Sherbrooke, was employed to reproduce our experimental results.
