The Diagnostics of the Chemical Reaction Zone at the Detonation of   Condensed Explosives
  The highly-sensitive method is proposed for the real-time diagnostics of the von Neumann peak at detonation of brisant high explosives. The absence of the direct link between the pressure and the course of chemical reactions was shown. For TNT (trinitrotoluene), the influence of the structure of charge on the kinetics of chemical peak was demonstrated.
