Computation of the Shock Adiabats of Argon and Xenon

Abstract

Results of computations of the shock adiabats (Hugoniots) of Ar and Xe in frames of "chemical picture" taking into account multiple ionization, electron excitation and plasma non-ideality corrections are represented. Energy losses by radiation are estimated.
