Recently, new techniques such as laser-driven photocathode accel-erators have increased the time resolution available for radiation-chemical studies. They have been of great use in studying fast electron-transfer processes, but are not the one-to-two orders of magnitude improvement that would be needed to explore some of the fundamental questions of electron-precursor reactions and initial distribution of radiolytically produced species. Newer techniques, such as the laser-wakefield accelerator, have the potential to answer these sorts of questions however, they have not reached their maximum potential. ...
