Abstract
IT has been reported1 that paramagnetic centres are produced in glycine by equal doses of γ-rays, fast neutrons and α-particles in the proportions 1 : 0.7 : 0.1. As the lower efficiency of the α-particles might well be due to the high linear energy transfer along their tracks, an investigation of the effects of very high doses of electrons on the electron spin resonance spectrum of glycine and related substances seemed worth while.
