Development of Detectors for Station 1–3 “Fast Processes” of the SKIF Center for Collective Use

As a part of the first-stage experimental stations at the SKIF Center for Shared Use, a unique station 1–3 “Fast Processes” is being created, designed to study detonation, shock wave processes, as well as processes of reaction of materials to pulsed thermal or mechanical influence. The station will include three sections: the “Plasma” section, designed to study the processes of reaction of materials to pulsed thermal and mechanical loads; section “Dynamic processes, main building”, which is supposed to study shock wave processes and section “Dynamic processes, separate building”, intended for studying detonation and shock wave processes. To conduct experiments at stations 1–3, five coordinate X-ray detectors of various types are being developed. We described in detail the characteristics of the detectors and the status of development.
