    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of ethylene polymers in a tubular polymerisation system at pressures of from 500 to 5000 bar and temperatures of from 50 to 450 DEG C in the presence of polymerisation initiators which decompose to form free radicals, in which a mixture of ethylene, oxygen, regulator and optionally comonomers is fed to the polymerisation system at its inlet point (A) and simultaneously to a second point (C) after the inlet point along the polymerisation system, where the reaction temperature has exceeded a maximum, and in which, in addition, an initiator whose half-value temperature, measured in benzene as solvent, is above 140 DEG C is metered in at a further point (B) of the reactor, at which the temperature of the oxygen-initiated reaction has already exceeded the maximum and which is between the inlet points (A and C). The concentration of the additionally metered-in initiator is from 0.01 to 20 mol ppm, based on the entire amount of ethylene fed to the polymerisation system. The additionally metered-in initiator is an organic peroxide, an organic hydroperoxide or a mixture of organic peroxide and hydroperoxide.
