Impedance-mismatch experiments using laser-driven shocks
A series of impedance-mismatch experiments with aluminum-gold targets has been performed. These experiments are used to probe the equation of state (EOS) of gold at high pressure. By measuring the shock breakout time from the target rear surface, the shock trajectory is determined and found to be i...
