Abstract
Electrical conductivity of fluid tungsten under subcritical and superc ritical conditions has been measured. Fast wire explosions are used to create the corresponding states. The heavy;particle density varies fr om 4x10(21) to 6x10(22) cm(-3), the temperature from 3700 up to 13 000 K. The measured electrical conductivity mainly depends on the average d density and seems to be independent of the temperature within the ex perimental errors. The measurements are compared with theoretical mode ls.
