CRITERIA OF ENERGETIC MATERIALS IGNITION BY SHORT LASER AND ELECTRON PULSES

Abstract

This paper discusses the criteria of condensed explosives ignition by short laser and electronic pulses. The influence of the light beam radius, the dependence of the absorption coefficient on the temperature, the multiple reflection of a light beam and melting are investigated. A comparison of the calculations with the experimental data is shown.
