X-Ray Method for Study of Explosively Accelerated Metal Systems Using a 7-Mev Electron Linear Accelerator

Abstract
A new x‐ray technique for the study of explosively accelerated metal systems is described. X‐rays from a 7‐Mev electron linear accelerator operated with a pulse length of 10 μsec pass through the assembly under study and are detected by NaI scintillators viewed by photomultipliers. Collimation is used to achieve time resolution of 0.2 μsec and space resolution of 0.025 cm parallel to the direction of motion and 1 cm perpendicular to the motion.
