Time-dependent yield of the hydrated electron in subcritical and supercritical water studied by ultrafast pulse radiolysis and Monte-Carlo simulation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fast kinetics and time-dependent yields of the hydrated electron (e(-)(aq)) in pure water under conditions of high temperature and pressure up to the supercritical region were investigated by picosecond and nanosecond pulse radiolysis experiments. More significant decays at short times followed by plateau components at longer times were observed with increasing temperature, suggesting faster spur reaction processes. In supercritical water, it was also found that the e(-)(aq) yields strongly depend on the pressure (density). Comparison of these measurements with Monte-Carlo computer simulations allowed us to identify spur reactions of e(-)(aq) that occur predominantly at high temperatures and also to provide new key information on certain spur model parameters. In particular, the experimental time-dependent e(-)(aq) yields were best reproduced if the electron thermalization distance decreases with increasing temperature. This "shrinkage" of spur sizes at high temperatures was attributed to an increase in the scattering cross sections of subexcitation electrons, likely originating from a decrease in the degree of structural order of water molecules as the temperature is increased.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
