Radiative properties of an intense shock wave in neon
Abstract
Measurements were made of the flux density and brightness of ultraviolet radiation emitted from shock waves with velocities up to 42 km/s in neon. The screening effect of the heating layer before the shock front at the commencement of wave motion is shown to be nonstationary. The basic screening effect of the heating layer in neon is manifested in an effective reduction of the energy of emitted photons to 19 eV and in a significant attenuation of brightness in the red spectral region. Measured radiant flux densities reached a value of 1.8 x 10 to the 8th W/sq cm, which is not a limiting value for shock waves in neon.
