Abstract
The impact of high-current pulsed relativistic electron beams on the way craters form in rock samples (granites and labradorite) is studied. The method of thermal-imaging monitoring is tested for quickly estimating the sample surface state and determining the insulating properties of geomaterials. It is shown that such complex experiments are appropriate for investigating rock properties, which are of utmost importance in choosing places for radioactive waste disposal.
