Proton Radiography
Los Alamos National Laboratory has used high energy protons
as a probe in flash radiography for a decade. In this time
the proton radiography project has used 800 MeV protons,
provided by the LANSCE accelerator facility at LANL, to diagnose
more than 300 dynamic experiments in support of national
and international weapons science and stockpile stewardship
programs. Through this effort significant experience has
been gained in using charged particles as direct radiographic
probes to diagnose transient systems. The results of this
experience will be discussed through the presentation of
data from experiments recently performed at the LANL pRad.
