Abstract
The possibility of laboratory shock wave studies of the equation of state of a material with beams of laser-accelerated charged particles at pressures an order of magnitude higher than those reached in current experiments has been discussed. The possibility of the generation of a plane quasistationary shock wave with a pressure of several gigabars behind its front at the irradiation of a target by a laser beam with an energy of several kilojoules and an intensity of about 1017 W/cm2, which is accompanied by the generation of fast electrons with an average energy of 20–50 keV, has been justified.
