Abstract
The compressibility of liquid xenon is investigated experimentally at press ures of up to similar to 720 GPa. The substance is compressed by an explosi vely accelerated cylindrical envelope. The density is recorded by a gammagr aphic method, and the pressure is determined from the results of gasdynamic calculations. A comparison of the experimental and predicted results revea ls a fairly good isentropicity of the treated compression process. The comp ression of liquid xenon to a density of similar to 20 g/cm(3) confirms the anomaly associated with the structural transition at 8.37 g/cm(3).
