✦ Synopsis

Shock-impedance-match experiments were performed in proximity to underground nuclear explosions. Shock velocities were measured in pairs of adjacent materials. The reference material was Al in all cases. Specimens were Mo, Cu, Fe, Be and graphite-phase C. Relative to a theoretical equation of state for Al, shock pressures in the specimens ranged up to 2.5 TPa.
