The activation energy distribution of the decay reactions of free radicals after γ‐irradiation in poly‐(methylmethacrylate–20% methacrylic acid) is estimated starting with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements. This distribution can be compared with thermoluminescence (TL) results after electron irradiation of the same polymer. The main parts of the distribution functions represent the activation energies of 10.3 (TL) and 13 kJ/mol (EPR) and 26.8 (TL) and 22 kJ/mol (EPR) in the temperature regions of 120 to 125 K and 205 to 210 K, respectively.
