Popis: PBXN−111 samples were shocked using light‐gas guns. Six experiments were instrumented with in situ manganin or ytterbium gauges. Two experiments were instrumented with a rear surface quartz gauge. A linear relationship between shock velocity and particle velocity was obtained for stresses to 42 kbar. These results are compared with those from a wedge test study. Experimental stress‐time profiles suggest a low level reaction occurs behind the shock front for stresses above about 16 kbar.
