Abstract

We present some preliminary results on the equation of state (EOS) of water in a pressure regime of astrophysical interest. In the experiments, structured targets made of an aluminum step followed by a water layer are irradiated by the laser at an intensity up to 4·1014 W·cm-2 to generate a shock wave. Velocities are measured in the two materia using a VISAR interferometric diagnostic for water, and a streak camera to measure target self-emission for A1. EOS points for water are obtained with the impedance mismatch method using A1 EOS as a reference. Water reflectivity was also measured.
