We are developing experiments on intense laser facilities to study shock compressed metal foils in the solid state. At high pressure, Rayleigh-Taylor induced perturbation growth can be reduced by the strength of the material. [1] We use this to characterize the strength of the metal foils accelerated at high pressure in the solid state. In our experiments, Al and Cu foils are compressed and accelerated with staged shocks using a temporally shaped x-ray drive that is generated in a Nova laser hohlraum target. [2] The peak pressures exceed 1 Mbar (100 GPa), and strain rates are very high, 10^7-10^9 s-1. The instability growth is observed by x-ray radiography. To probe the state of the material under compression and to demonstrate that it remains solid, we are using the dynamic Bragg diffraction technique. [3] This technique has been demonstrated on the Nova laser [4] using Si crystals shocked to 200-500 kbar. Additionally, we have observed diffraction from Cu crystals that are shocked to 100-200 kbar by direct laser irradiation on the Trident and OMEGA lasers. Compressions of up to a 10in the crystal lattice spacing have been observed. We will present the results of our work to develop these high pressure solid-state hydrodynamics experiments. 1. J. F.
