Abstract
Temperatures of shock compressed liquid deuterium and hydrogen up to 5200 K were measured at pressures up to 83 GPa (830 kbar). The measurements are in excellent agreement with earlier calculations to about 20 GPa and show evidence for dissociation above 20 GPa. At the highest measured temperatures and pressures current theories break down and a revised theory is proposed.Keywords
