Abstract

Annealing of radiation damage in artificial sodium silica glass has been studied by absorption spectroscopy for different radiation sources (fission fragments produced by n,f reactions, alpha decays produced by n, α reactions, and 2 MeV electrons) as a function of annealing time and temperature. The annealing observed can be described best by a single exponential function

A(t) = a exp (− αt)

with an Arrhenius type temperature dependence of the annealing coefficient α

α(T) = α0 exp (− EA/kT)

For the three different radiation sources similar activitation energies EA were deduced from the data. Possible annealing processes are discussed.
