Diagnostics and Production of Warm Dense Matter with Multishock Reverberation Compression Technique

Abstract

Multishock reverberation compression is an effective means, especially for low Z matter, to create high pressure warm dense states and study material properties under these extreme conditions. To character and interrogate of such state, we have developed a comprehensive diagnostic technique, which was used to determine the multishock compressed states and to obtain the equations of state of warm dense matter (WDM) pressure up to Mbar region. The results are used to validate the existing WDM theoretical model and create new theoretical ones.
