Abstract
An experimental approach is developed to determine the range (distance traveled) of electrons with low ( approximately 1 eV) initial kinetic energy before solvation in hydrocarbon liquids. The distance may be associated with several processes, including electron thermalization, transport of quasi-free thermalized electrons, and electron transfer through shallow traps after primary localization. The thermalization length, l/sub th/ approximately=5.5 nm, is the same for methylcyclohexane (MCH) and squalene (Sq). The length, l/sub th/ >
