“…Physicists and, first of all, developers of nuclear weapons, fully appreciated the possibilities of nuclear explosions as an unprecedented source of generation of super-powerful shock and radiation waves in condensed media and the study of ultra-extreme states of matter with their help [10,[22][23][24]. To obtain the necessary information about the physical properties and gas-dynamic features of the behavior of matter under conditions of a nuclear explosion, a large-scale complex of experimental and theoretical works was launched, which gave rise to a new science, the physics of high energy densities [8,16,22,23,25] and dynamic physics of high pressures.…”

Extreme states arise when a substance is exposed to powerful shock, detonation and electric explosive waves, concentrated laser radiation, electron and ion beams, during powerful chemical and nuclear explosions, hypersonic motion of bodies in dense planetary atmospheres, high-speed impact, and in many other situations characterized by extremely high pressures and temperatures. The study of matter under extreme conditions is one of the most urgent and intensively developing fundamental scientific disciplines, located at the intersection of plasma physics, nonlinear optics, condensed state, nuclear, atomic and molecular physics, and relativistic and magnetic hydrodynamics. In our country, research in the field of physics of high energy density and extreme states of matter is dynamically developing thanks to the active cooperation of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation.
