Abstract
Sound velocity of laser-irradiated iron foils was measured with side-on x-ray radiograph technique. Iron foils were irradiated with two-stepped laser pulse to reach earth's core condition. We measured not only the sound velocity but also temperature, pressure, shock velocity, compressibility, and particle velocity. The experimental parameters of temperature and pressure were very close to the earth's core condition. The experimental results on the sound velocity are in good agreements with previous experimental results and one-dimensional simulation results.
