Abstract

Experimental measurements of the shift and width of the aluminium K-absorption edge in laser shock-compressed plasma is presented. The spectrometer used in these experiments allows an accurate wavelength calibration and fiduciary and hence provides precise measurements of both the shift and the width of the absorption edge. Results have been obtained for compressions up to approximately × 2 and temperatures up to about 1.5 eV. The values of shift and width are compared with a new model with which there is very good agreement.
