Abstract
A new method of measuring the free-surface velocity via soft x-ray sha dowgraphy is presented. Using that method, the shock-wave pressure was deduced. In addition, a new method of measuring the Mie scattering of the debris from laser-induced spall in aluminum is also presented. Th e data have yielded the distribution of the debris radii in the range of 1-7 mu m. Furthermore, it was shown that the smaller particles an t he faster ones. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
