Laser detonators offer several advantages over traditional electrical detonators, such as exploding bridgewire and slapper detonators, in terms of both safety and performance. Laser detonators remove the electrical conduction ...

The effect ionizing radiation, specifically gamma, has on three of the most well known explosive materials; HMX, PETN and TATB, has been studied experimentally and computationally. Samples of these explosives that had been ...
