Microparticles and plasma stream registration during cylinder compression of a metal liner

In this paper, the authors show the possible way of registration of the microparticles and plasma jets escaping from the inner surface of metal cylindrical liner when the detonation wave reaches it. The liner is allocated within experimental setup and is compressed by detonation products. Jets have been registered by Langmuir gauge which connection circuit was developed by the authors. The authors also developed a technique a method for detecting the signal under study. Average particle (about 4 km/s) and plasma (about 7 km/s) jet velocity is estimated by using the developed technique for copper liner compressed by detonation products. The results of this experiment correlate with those for plane setup. (paper)
