Abstract

Energy densities and their corresponding extremely high intensities of shock waves which are maximum of those available in terrestrial conditions are reached today in the collision of relativistic heavy ions (Fortov in High energy density physics. FIZMATLIT, Moscow, 2013 [1]; Fortov in Extreme states of matter. High energy density physics, 2nd edn. Springer, Heidelberg, New York, London, 2016 [2]).
