Restoring size of detonation nanodiamonds from small-angle x-ray scattering of polychromatic synchrotron radiation beam

Over the past two decades, LIH SB RAS and BINP SB RAS have jointly conducted experiments on time-resolved (TR) small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) with detonating high explosives. The purpose of these experiments is to restore the dynamics of carbon species condensation to diamond nanoparticles by analyzing series of SAXS patterns behind the detonation front measured in real time with fast detectors. This knowledge is crucial for the development of reliable detonation models. In this paper, we compare SAXS patterns of identical nanodiamond samples measured at the TR-SAXS extreme state of matter end-station (BINP SB RAS) in the static mode under realistic conditions simulating fast real-time measurements with polychromatic SR beam and traditional SAXS BioMUR beamline at the Kurchatov Synchrotron Radiation Source (NRC “Kurchatov Institute”) with monochromatic synchrotron radiation (SR) beam. These experiments confirm that the size of scattering inhomogeneities determined in dynamic experiments with single bunch exposure with polychromatic SR beam is correct.
