Abstract

An experimental study was made of the initiation of detonation of a polymer-bonded energetic condensed system containing glycerol trinitrate, ammonium perchlorate, and aluminum powder by a nanosecond relativistic electron beam with a flux density of 200 J/cm2. It has been found that the velocity of dispersion of gas–plasma formations from the surface of the energetic condensed system is ∼22 km/s. It has been shown that the detonation of the studied energetic condensed system by the nanosecond relativistic electron beam is reached at much lower pressures than in the case of initiation by an explosive charge.
