High energy density physics

The monograph is devoted to diverse physical phenomena and properties of a compressed and preheated substance at high energy densities. Methods for generation, diagnosis, as well as theoretical methods for describing the behavior of the substance at extremely high pressures and temperatures obtained in laboratory and quasibilological conditions are considered. The states of the substance with high energy densities arising at different stages of the evolution of astrophysical objects under the action of gravity and thermonuclear energy release are discussed.
An attempt was made to systematize, summarize and outline from a single point of view, extensive theoretical and experimental material related to the new field of science - high energy density physics.
The book is based on lectures read by the author at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, in the Higher School of Physics Minatom Russia, as well as review and invited reports at scientific conferences and symposia.
The book can be useful to a wide range of scientists, graduate students and students of natural-scientific specialties, opens them access to original work and allows you to navigate the fascinating problems of modern physics
