Beck, C A

The high-resolution ultraviolet and visible spectra of typical test nuclear detonations up to and including Operation Ivy were analyzed and compared. Topics studied include the types of atomc and molecular material observed (with calculations, in some cases, of the relative quantities involved), the ultraviolet cutoff, and rotational temperatures. Variation of these quantities with the radiochemical yield of the bomb is indicated.
