Detection of Particle Ejection from Shock-Loaded Metals by Synchrotron Radiation Methods

The mass distribution along a flow of microparticles is measured by methods of synchrotron radiation generated by the VEPP-3 collider. The use of the soft spectrum of radiation allows microparticle flows to be measured with a record-beating (minimum) specific density (1 mg/cm3). Simultaneous recording of microparticle flows by piezoelectric sensors offers a possibility of comparisons and extension of results.
