Abstract

Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) has developed several "flash" proton radiography systems that use 800 MeV protons generated by the LANSCE linear accelerator for the study of dynamic materials science. These systems have been optimized to measure the fundamental properties of dynamic materials such as the equation of state, strength, and phase transitions, as well as the physical processes important in predicting the hydrodynamic flow of these materials at high velocity, pressure, and density. To meet the requirements of these measurements, three radiography systems have been developed: an identity lens, a x3 magnifier and a x7 microscope. These systems have been optimized for 800 MeV proton radiography, but future radiographic improvements can be achieved by increasing the proton energy, as has been demonstrated at higher energy proton radiography facilities around the world.
