Proton radiographic and numerical of colliding, diverging PBX-9502 detonations.

The Proton radiographic shot PRAD0077 was designed to study the interaction of colliding, diverging PBX-9502 detonations. The shot consisted of a 50 mm by 50 mm cylinder of PBX-9502 initiated on the top and bottom at the axis by a SE-1 detonator and a 12 mm by 12 mm cylinder of 9407. Seven radiographs were taken at times before and after the detonation collision. The system was modeled using the one-dimensional SIN code with C-J Burn in plane and spherically diverging geometry and using the two… more

Proton radiography examination of unburned regions in PBX 9502 corner turning experiments

PBX 9502 Corner Turning Experiments have been used with various diagnostics techniques to study detonation wave propagation and the boosting of the insensitive explosive. In this work, the uninitiated region of the corner turning experiment is examined using Proton Radiography. Seven transmission radiographs obtained on the same experiment are used to map out the undetonated regions on each of three different experiments. The results show regions of high-density material, a few percent larger t… more
