High explosive corner turning performance and the LANL mushroom test
- Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico 87545 (United States)
The Mushroom test is designed to characterize the corner turning performance of a new generation of less sensitive booster explosives. The test is described in detail, and three corner turning figures-of-merit are examined using pure TATB (both Livermore{close_quote}s Ultrafine and a Los Alamos research blend) and PBX9504 as examples. {copyright} {ital 1998 American Institute of Physics.}
