Sandia 25-meter compressed helium/air gun
Conference
·
OSTI ID:6236373
For nearly twenty years the Sandia 25-m compressed gas gun has been an important tool for studying condensed materials subjected to transient shock compression. Major system modifications are now in progress to provide new control, instrumentation, and data acquisition capabilities. These features will ensure that the facility can continue as an effective means of investigating a variety of physical and chemical processes in shock-compressed solids.
