Abstract
An experimental method is described for calibrating the loading of exp losive charges with two sequential shock waves. This method is used to obtain quantitative data on the change of the shockwave sensitivity o f the explosive charges. A [precursor] threshold was observed which si multaneously desensitizes the explosive and excites it to slow (nondet onating) decomposition by a weak shock wave.
