SiO[sub 2]-aerogel plasma properties in the energy range up to 65 kJ/g

We present a new data on pyrometry measurements of SiO2-aerogel under shock loading. Optically transparent samples with initial densities 0.36, 0.27 and 0.008 g/cc was shocked up to 65 kJ/g total energy of schock compression; temperatures up to 25000 K was measured. The analysis of data is described.
