High energy density Physics on LULI2000 facility
ORAL
Abstract
We present here a summary of various experiments performed on the new facility LULI 2000. High Density Energy Physics situation have been investigated: a- Study on water EOS using laser driven shock into a diamond anvil cell pre-compressed target. b- A strongly coupled and degenerated Aluminum plasma has been probed by X-ray Thomson scattering. Compton shift from electrons has been observed. c- A radiative supercritical shock has been produced into a Xe filled gas cell. We determined electron density variation, precursor and shock velocities and electron temperature. Different flyer plate targets have been tested loading shock in fused-quartz plate.
