“…These experiments were carried out to determine if argon or krypton would become conductive when compressed isentropically to megabar pressures. 1,2,3 The radiographic recording system employed for these experiments consisted of a LSO:Ce scintillator with a 1-mm-thick Ta Compton converter, a Bechtel Nevada streak camera, a microchannel plate image intensifier (MCP II), and a commercial charge-coupled device (CCD) readout camera. The image was oriented on the streak photocathode so that a 4 mm by 24 mm cross-sectional view of the target cylinder (5 mm by 30 mm at the scintillator with radiographic magnification) was aligned with the camera's spatial axis.…”

Experiments have been conducted in Sarov, Russia, with a dynamic radiographic system designed to establish the volume of an imploding 14-mm-diameter tungsten cylinder. Images were formed using a 65-MeV gamma source, lutetium oxyorthosilicate doped with cerium (LSO:Ce) radiation-to-light converter, and a fiber optic imaging bundle. Three radiographs were recorded in the course of approximately 2 microseconds using an electronic streak camera with intensified charge-coupled device (CCD) readout. Significant improvements in system performance were achieved over lens coupling of components by the introduction of coherent fiber optics.
