A Series of Joint VNIIEF/LANL Explosive Magnetic Experiments RHSR-0,1,2 on Radiographic Study of Perturbations Growth at a Copper Liner Boundary with Polyethylene or Water

In the three joint VNIIEF/LANL experiments RHSR-0,1,2 with a disk EMG and a three-layer liner system (Al-dielectric-Cu) a method of radial radiography was used to study growth of perturbations amplitude at the boundary between copper layer and polyethylene (in experiments RHSR-0,1) and water (in experiment RHSR-2); the growth occurs during the evolution of the Raleigh-Taylor instability of this boundary.
