Conclusion: Ultrafast redox reactions occurring under irradiation In parallel with proton transfer reaction, reactivity of H 2 O + in oxidation processes is clearly and quantitatively demonstrated. Usual Simulation Codes, do not take into account the oxidation reactivity of the radical cation of water. Maximum radiolytic yield of H 2 O + in H 2 SO is found to be.3 ± 0.2 10-7 mol J -1. Prehydrated electron and the pair (e -, H + ) could reduced chemical species in less than 1 ps. 35 Mostafavi, AIEA, April 2017, Vienne, Autriche
