Broadband photo-diodes sensitive over the visible and near infrared

electromagnetic spectrum are used to monitor impact flash

luminosity versus

time. Based on careful experimental layout and impact timing the

prompt

portion of the impact flash signatures reveal the shock

propagation timing

through a Composition-B target plate. Application of

Rankine-Hugoniot Jump

equations to this waveform timing provides Hugoniot state

measurements of

shock compressed Composition-B in the 25 to 50 GPa range. This

data will be

discussed in detail, along with comparison to previous work below

the

Composition-B detonation pressure.
