Exploding Wires Volume 4

As in previous cases, this volume contains papers on the rela- tion of shock waves and exploding wires; or uses, particularly as exploding bridge wires; on chemical reactions induced by wire explosions; and on the general theory of the wire explosion itself. In addition, several new areas are covered. There are two papers on the resistivity-density relation in wire explosions. There are papers orr the use of lasers and also on the use of x rays for the study of explodingwires. Spectroscopy as applied to wire explosions is discussed in four papers.
The Conference Committee included Dr. F .C. Bennett, Mr. M.A. Levine, Dr. C.P. Nash, and Mr. R.j. Reithel. The editors wish to thank these and all the others who gave so generously of their time and talent to make the Conference and this volume possible. Mrs. William Watson was again the efficient conference sec- retary, and the art work was again done by Mr. C. V. Fish.
