Abstract
Optical emission from a shock wave emerging from a free surface is stu died using numerical simulations taking into account the effect of tem perature equilibration between electrons and ions. The results show si gnificant variations depending on the equilibration rate. They also il lustrate how measurements of the absolute intensity, relative spectral intensities, and temporal history of such emission can provide a new and important means for determining electron-ion equilibration rate in dense matter.
