case: the sample of infinite size. Radicals of any low concentration will then react sooner or<br />
later: ñcrit≈0; but, as higher concentration as sooner process of recombination begins).<br />
T0 - value can be evaluated from the relation<br />
ñcrit = R τ (1- exp(-T0/τ)),<br />
where τ and R are “life time “ of radicals and radical production rate, respectively. For low<br />
dose rate (and low value of R accordingly) and/or big volume of a sample, T0 may prevail<br />
over TSB resulting in deterministic character of SB appearance (if such is principally possible,<br />
that is, if ñcrit < R τ ). T0 will also prevail over TSB for high dose rate and big volume of a<br />
sample, situation which is typical for cold moderators of advanced spallation neutron sources.<br />
We understand that there are certain arbitrariness in the procedures used above. But it seems<br />
reasonable accounting for general conditionality of the model discussed. Function (1) is only<br />
one of many possible type of distribution of radicals in small volume of definite size chosen at<br />
random. Actually, type of the distribution is defined by many factors, such as structural defects,<br />
micro-cracks, crystallite interstitials, and diffusion of radicals which are quite unlikely<br />
to be analyzed with enough degree of certainty. This model may serve only for rough estimation<br />
of probability of spontaneous burping in solid methane and water ice until more rigorous<br />
theory is developed.<br />
