Asay window: A new spall diagnostic
17th Nov 2006, 06:54 GMT
Craig W. McCluskey, Mark D. Wilke, William W. Anderson, Mark E. Byers, David B. Holtkamp et al. By changing from the metallic foil of the Asay foil diagnostic, which can detect ejecta from a shocked surface, to a lithium fluoride (LiF) or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) window, it is possible to detect multiple spall layers and interlayer rubble. Past experiments to demonstrate this diagnostic ... [Rev. Sci. Instrum. 77, 113902 (2006)] published Thu Nov 16, 2006.
