Results of the observation of the generation of leading centers in the
Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction under the action of a 30-MeV alpha beam from the
cyclotron in SINP MSU are presented. Observations were performed for two configurations
of the cell: planar and capillary. Threshold values of the absorbed dose for the
generation and complete quenching of autowaves were estimated.
