A nuclear explosive generated planar shock has been used to perform impedance-matching experiments relative to a molybdenum standard. Shock velocities were measured with accuracies of 1.5% to 2.5%, thus providing Hugoniot data for samples of Al, quartz, Fe, Mo, and low-density Mo at pressures from 2 to 5 TPa.
