Abstract
The formation of laser-driven shocks in fused silica was observed from shock trajectory measurements. The result reveals an anomalously slow buildup of the strong shock which suggests a sig- nificant volume change at pressures ≳ 1 Mbar. Nonsteady propagation of the strong shock was also observed for a transient period immediately following its formation.Keywords
