Abstract:The Equations Of State (EOS) of materials under extreme conditions of temperature and pressure can be experimentally studied, thanks to intense electron beam-target experiments. The latter are powerful tools to probe materials in the warm dense matter regime. At CEA/CESTA, we use the CESAR pulsed generator (1 MV, 300 kA). During an experimental shot, a high-power 800 keV, 100 kA, 20 mm-diameter, 100 ns electron pulse produces shock waves in an aluminum target. The behavior of the latter is explored by analyzin… Show more
