Project Cowboy : Close-in Pressure Measurements with Tourmaline Crystals on Tamped Detonations

Description: In January and February, 1960, Lawrence Radiation Laboratory personnel conducted a series of experiments in Phase II of Project Cowboy in which tourmaline crystal transducers, located very close (3 to 50 feet) to tamped high explosive detonations, detected dynamic elasto-plastic stress waves generated in salt.
