| Abstract: | Abstract The shock adiabat for liquid xenon in the density range of 5.2–7.9 g/cm3 and pressure range of 8–70 GPa was investigated. The brightness temperature of a shock wave front from 5000 K to ?15,000 K, as well as the electrical conductivity behind the front from 4·103 to 1.2·105 1/Ohm m, were measured. X-ray technique was used to measure quasi-isentropic compression of liquid xenon up to ～13 g/cm3. The equations of state for liquid and solid phases of xenon were found. Anomalous behavior of xenon at p=8.37 g/cm3 was revealed, that is due to a structural transition. |
