✦ Synopsis

This is the first report about the optical spectra of radiation defects in rare gas solids. The study of these defects, induced by means of X-rays, has been carried out by using free single crystals of krypton with a thickness of 1 cm. Four new absorption bands in the spectral range from 6.5 to 9.6 eV have been detected, which obviously correspond to induced colour centers in Kr. The centers have been found to be stable in the temperature range from 10 to 40 K.
