Probing off-Hugoniot states of Lead at 85 GPa pressure
POSTER
Abstract
The design and experimental results of probing the EOS of Pb in off-Hugoniot states are reported. A compression at two shock waves was generated by using double layer impactor. The experimental setup for measuring the second shock velocity is based on the ``overtake method". It includes two lead targets of different thicknesses whose back surface velocities were measured using an interferometry method. The pressures of the first and second shock waves were 60 GPa and 85 GPa, respectively.
