    What is it called?

    There is a special type of geometry which deals with the size, shape and arrangement of the explosive plates within compression type nuclear weapons. This type of geometry also has a special name. What is this type of geometry called?

    I know what you're talking about, but I've never heard it given a specific title. I'd look up explosive lenses, implosion-type nuclear weapons design, "The Gadget" and "Thin Man" projects to try and find out more.
