Abstract
Flash radiography of large hydrodynamic experiments driven by high explosives is a diagnostic method in use at many laboratories. A major contributor to the practical resolution obtained by this point-projection technique is the size of the source spot. A variety of techniques for measuring spot size are in use at the different laboratories, as are different definitions of spot size. Additional metrics in common use at Los Alamos National Laboratory are considered here, and compared with those previously discussed in J. Opt. Soc.
