Abstract :
Summary form only given. A new pulsed power facility has been commissioned at Imperial College as part of the Institute for Shock Physics. The facility, based around the MACH-Mega Ampere Compression and Hydrodynamics-generator, is dedicated towards exploring ramp loading of material samples with pressures up to ~100KBar.
