Abstract: Laser‐based experiments are being developed to study the response of solids under high pressure loading. Diagnostic techniques that have been applied include dynamic x‐ray diffraction, VISAR wave profile measurements, and post‐shock recovery and analysis. These techniques are presented with some results from shocked Si, Al, and Cu experiments.
