The physics of high-energy-density equations of state (EOSs) is a crucial component in the understanding of many aspects of astrophysical objects and of laboratory applications at extreme conditions such as inertial confinement fusion. Models of EOSs at high pressure and temperature are difficult to evaluate because of dynamic processes that take place in a strongly coupled environment; i.e., the theory is extraordinarily difficult. Therefore measurements of EOSs at high energy density are necessary in order to guide and evaluate theory. Creating the appropriate states in the laboratory on timescales sufficient to perform meaningful measurements typically requires high-energy facilities such as kilojoule-plus-class lasers and pulsed power devices, although some experiments can be performed with short-pulse lasers. Various techniques will be described. *This work was performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by the University of California, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under contract No. W-7405-Eng-48.
