Abstract

A procedure is developed for the tomographic reconstruction of the distribution of the gas density from measurements data on the attenuation of a sensing beam of fast electrons. The measurements and reconstruction are carried out for symmetrical and asymmetrical conical objects in a low-density hypersonic flow (M=21).
