Abstract
The possibility of existence of carbon-rich-planets makes it important to study High Energy States of carbon in order to understand the internal structure of such planets. In this paper, we present two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of a low-entropy compression of a carbon sample that is enclosed in a high-Z cylindrical shell that is driven by a high intensity uranium beam. The considered beam parameters are the ones that will be available at the accelerator facility, named, FAIR, at Darmstadt. This study has shown that the carbon sample can be compressed to 2 to 3 times solid density and ultra-high pressures are achieved. The temperature, on the other hand, remains relatively low. These are the typical physical conditions that are expected to exist in the planetary interiors. An experimental study of the thermophysical and transport properties of such samples will significantly improve our knowledge about formation and evolution of different type of planets.
