Abstract:
Modern techniques such as intense lasers have provided the possibility to study new matters and new phenomena under the extreme condition of high energy density, where the pressure could be higher than 1 million bar. In this talk, an introduction to this field and various examples of the matters under high energy density will be presented. The frontier topics of the phase diagrams and the production of new matters, and the properties of the degenerate matter will be discussed.
