X-ray diffraction of TATB shocked to 100 GPa

ORAL

Abstract

We present in situ x-ray diffraction measurements of shocked 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB) to determine the solid carbon reaction products produced under shock compression to high pressure. TATB single crystals were shocked between 20 and 100 GPa in experiments at the Omega Laser Facility. VISAR was used to determine the pressure of the compressed TATB during the time of the x-ray exposure.
