Abstract

The dynamics of low entropy weak shock waves induced by heavy ion beams in solid targets was investigated by means of a schlieren technique. The targets consist of a metallic absorber for the beam energy deposition followed by a plexiglass block for optical observations. Multiple waves propagating with supersonic velocities at 15 kbar pressures were observed in the plexiglass, for pressures of up to 70 kbar numerically calculated in the absorbers. Pressures in the megabar ranges are predicted for a near future beam upgrade, enabling studies of phase transition to metallic states of H, Kr, and Xe.
