Abstract
We have studied the spectrum and kinetics of optical emission in the wavelength range from 550 to 1000 nm accompanying explosive decomposition of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) single crystals initiated by a nanosecond electron beam. The explosive luminescence kinetics reveals two components with a continuous spectrum, identified as luminescence accompanying the explosive decomposition, and a component with a linear spectrum due to molecular nitrogen formed as a result of explosion.
