Shock Hugoniot of diamond from 3 to 80 TPa

Damian C. Swift, Andrea L. Kritcher, Amy Lazicki +13

The principal Hugoniot of carbon, initially diamond, was measured from 3 to 80 TPa (30 to 800 million atmospheres), the highest pressure ever achieved, using radiography of spheric…

Improved analysis of converging shock radiographs

Damian C. Swift, Andrea L. Kritcher, Amy Lazicki +6

We previously reported an experimental platform to induce a spherically-convergent shock in a sample using laser-driven ablation, probed with time-resolved x-ray radiography, and a…

Sensitivity of stellar physics to the equation of state

D. C. Swift, T. Lockard, M. Bethkenhagen +3

The formation and evolution of stars depends on various physical aspects of stellar matter, including the equation of state (EOS) and transport properties. Although often dismissed…

Comparison of ablators for the polar direct drive exploding pusher platform

Heather D. Whitley, G. Elijah Kemp, Charles Yeamans +36

We examine the performance of pure boron, boron carbide, high density carbon, and boron nitride ablators in the polar direct drive exploding pusher (PDXP) platform. The platform us…

Simultaneous compression and opacity data from time-series radiography with a Lagrangian marker

Damian C. Swift, Andrea L. Kritcher, James A. Hawreliak +12

Time-resolved radiography can be used to obtain absolute shock Hugoniot states by simultaneously measuring at least two mechanical parameters of the shock, and this technique is pa…
