TLDR
In this article, experimental data on the compression of solid deuterium at a pressure of ∼60 GPa were presented and compared with the data of shock experiments obtained on a Nova laser facility and an electrodynamic EPBF-Z plant.Abstract:
Experimental data on the compression of solid deuterium at a pressure of ∼60 GPa are presented. The data were obtained on a generator of powerful converging spherical shock waves. The results are compared with the data of shock experiments obtained on a Nova laser facility and an electrodynamic EPBF-Z plant.read more

THE INTERIORS OF GIANT PLANETS: Models and Outstanding Questions
TL;DR: In this article, the intercomparison of presently characterized extrasolar giant planets shows that they are also mainly made of hydrogen and helium, but that they either have significantly different amounts of heavy elements, have had different orbital evolutions, or both.

The properties of hydrogen and helium under extreme conditions
TL;DR: In this article, a review of density functional theory and quantum Monte Carlo methods applied to the phase diagram of hydrogen, with particular focus on the solid phases and the liquid-liquid transition are discussed.

Shock Compression of Deuterium and the Interiors of Jupiter and Saturn
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the range of structures allowed for Jupiter and Saturn by the current uncertainty in the hydrogen equation of state (EOS) and astrophysical observations of the two planets.

Explosive laboratory devices for shock wave compression studies
TL;DR: In this paper, the history of creation and schemes of Arzamas-16 explosive laboratory devices for dynamical compressibility measurements at pressures up to 2.5 TPa are described, in which a thin, metallic impactor of spherical geometry is accelerated by the explosion products in converging detonation waves.
