26. Characterization of matter in the Megabar regime using laser shock compression: applications to planetology

Dr Alessandra Benuzzi Mounaix (LULI (CNRS, Ecole Polytechnique, CEA, Sorbonne Un))

The high power lasers are today an important tool for studying matter under extreme conditions, characterized by density greater than the solid density, moderate temperatures (T ≈ a few eV) and pressures in 1-10 Mbar range. The behavior and physical properties of this matter are still poorly understood, both theoretically and experimentally, and far from trivial to be simulated numerically. We...
