Abstract
An experimental program to study solid-density matter at temperatures of about 1 eV per atom is described. A solid sample is inertially confined while heated by a well-characterized burst of keV photons on the picosecond timescale. Optical probing with sub-picosecond resolution measures properties of the material in this regime.
