Temperature measurement of tin under shock compression

The results of pyrometric measurements performed at the interface of a tin target with a LiF window material are presented for stresses ranging from 3 8 to 55 GPa. The purpose of the study is to analyze the part of the interfa ce in the temperature measurement by a multi-channel pyrometric device. The results show that the glue used at the tin/LiF interface remains transpare nt under shock. The values of temperature measured at the tin/LiF interface are consistent with the behavior of tin under shock.
