Goals: Understand crystal structure and micro-structure changes during thermal cycling, understand reasons for ratcheting of TATB during thermal cycling, and Support of B61 LEP. Deliverables achieved: Completed in situ thermal cycling of loose powder and pressed pellet TATB on HIPPO, Quantified preferred orientation of pressed pellet, and quantified relative change of each of the six lattic parameters.
