Density distribution reconstruction of the detonation front of high explosives using synchrotron radiation data

Abstract This work suggests and realizes a new method applying synchrotron radiation for remote measurement of density distribution at the front of a detonation wave. X-radiation was registered by a one-dimension gas detector DIMEX with a resolution of 100 μ m . The experimental setup is described. The methods for density reconstruction by measured intensity of transmitted radiation are also presented.
