It seems to follow homogenous detonation model based on the spatially resolved wave profile measurement The work has been done in collaboration with D. Dattelbaum and S. H2O Sheffield In LANL Is shock-induced detonation different from the static H2O2 target with stress gauge Loading H2O2 2-Stage gas gun Decomposition of H2O2 is driven by densification and melting pressure-induced decomposition ?
