University of California Press, 1980 - Science - 628 pagesAbout 15 years ago, a unique and important flash-radiographic facility became
operational at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. This facility is known as
PHERMEX, which is an acronym for Pulsed ZTlgh Energy Radiographic Machine
Emitting X rays. The PHERMEX machine is a high-current, 30-MeV, linear electron
accelerator that produces very intense but short-duration bursts of
bremsstrahlung from a thin tungsten target for flash radiographic studies of explosives
and explosive-driven metal systems. The facility was built in the early
1960s to complement other hydrodynamics facilities at Lm Alamos and to implement
studies of shock waves, jets, spalling, detonation characteristics of chemical
explosives, and other hydrodynamic phenomena.Contents
