Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

This paper describes experimental results on using nonstationary spectrometry in a terahertz frequency range to determine the composition of gaseous products of decomposition of energy materials. Dependences of analytical signals on lines of the main products of ammonium nitrate and PETN decomposition on time are obtained.
