Dynamic Response of Graphitic Targets with Tantalum Cores Impacted by Pulsed 440-GeV Proton Beams

Figure 19

Recorded maximum surface velocity. Absolute maximum surface velocity (symbols) as a function of deposited energy in the tantalum core for targets #1, #3, and #6 (a) and targets #4, #7, and #10 (b). Insets are blow-ups of the dashed boxes. Lines represent a guide to the eye for the proposed range of deposited energy where the sample shows an overall elastic response. Error bars are smaller than the symbols.
