Improved uniformity of the laser for-al spot profile is a necessary criterion for the success of high intensity laser fusion and to improve the quality of data from moderate intensity laser driven shock experiments in solids. Recently developed laser smoothing techniques rely on both temporal smoothing and thermal smoothing to produce uniform ablation pressures on the target surface. Thermal smoothing is not effective during the low intensity portion of a laser pulse and the resultant shock structure mirrors the residual laser nonuniformities. The impact of the first(nonuniform) shock can be diminished by using foam layers, a precursor flash, shallow angles of incidence, and by adiabatically compressing the target with a temporally long, slowly rising laser pulse. 1, record 5, English, - thermal%20smoothing

Explosion data is information on the explosive properties of a material. Explosion data is seldom available and is usually given in descriptive terms such as low, moderate or high. The following types of information can be used to describe the explosive hazard of a material : a) Sensitivity to mechanical impact. This information indicates whether or not the material will burn or explode on shock(for example, dropping a package) or friction(for example, scooping up spilled material). b) Sensitivity to static discharge. This information indicates how readily the material can be ignited by an electric spark. 2, record 7, English, - explosion%20data

Données relatives à l'explosion / explosivité. Ces données décrivent les propriétés qui font qu'une substance est explosive. Les détails relatifs à l'explosivité sont rarement disponibles et ils se limitent ordinairement à des termes qualitatifs (basse, modérée, élevée). Les termes suivants peuvent servir à décrire les dangers que présente une matière explosive : a) Sensibilité au choc mécanique. On indique ici la possibilité que [sic] la substance brûle ou explose au choc (comme lorsqu'on laisse tomber un contenant) ou à la friction (comme lorsqu'on nettoie un déversement). b) Sensibilité à la décharge statique. On indique ici le degré de probabilité qu'une étincelle électrique mette le feu à la substance. 2, record 7, French, - donn%C3%A9es%20sur%20les%20risques%20d%27explosion
