DESCRIPTION:Time-resolved X-ray diffraction measurements in shock wave exp
 eriments provide considerable insight into atomic mechanisms governing fas
 t structural changes in crystalline solids. The penetration power of high 
 energy X-rays combined with the highest wave vector resolution represents 
 a powerful tool for probing lattice strain inside the bulk of crystalline 
 solids under shock loading. We have developed a method for obtaining diffr
 action data from laser-shocked solids using a high-resolution triple-axis 
 diffractometer coupled to a short-pulsed laser source. Results obtained fr
 om shock-compressed KCl and CdS single crystals will be presented to illus
 trate the method.
