  • Abstract
    The paper describes a unique measurement facility allowing research to be undertaken into the dynamics of an ensemble of spheres (shot cloud) evolving in time and space. The acoustoelectronic ballistics target produces accurate timing and positional information on the distribution of the spheres in a shot cloud, typically at transonic velocities. The ballistics target also allows graphical reproduction of the shot cloud outline in three dimensions
