Extreme matter compression caused by radiation cooling effect in gigabar shock wave driven by laser-accelerated fast electrons
Heating a solid material with laser-accelerated fast electrons is a particularly useful method for generating a plane powerful shock wave with a pressure of several hundred or even thousands of Mbar in the laboratory. Behind the front of such a powerful shock wave, dense plasma is heated to a temper...
