Abstract
A novel technique is proposed for studying the effect of radiation treatment on sensitivity of energetic materials, based on irradiation of specimens by a series of pulses on an electron accelerator. Data obtained in experiments with silver azide crystals are reported. The explosion probability in irradiated specimens is shown to be a nonmonotonic function of the radiation dose, exhibiting a rise for low doses and a fall for high doses. The experimental data obtained agree with the divacancy model for heavy metal azide initiation.
