Title: Insensitive HE EOS

Conference ·
OSTI ID:301343

A typical insensitive high explosive such as LX-17 has a large carbon-content and produces hydrogen fluoride (HF) as a detonation product. It is also characterized by slow energy release as indicated by a large curvature of the detonation front. We analyze these new physics issues which are needed to predict the performance of a insensitive high explosive. (U)
