We present the first x-ray scattering measurements of the state of compression and heating in laser irradiated solid beryllium. The scattered spectra at two different angles show Compton and plasmon features indicating a dense Fermi-degenerate plasma state with a Fermi energy above 30 eV and with temperatures in the range of 10 eV to 15 eV. These measurements indicate compression by a factor of three in agreement with Hugoniot data and detailed radiation hydrodynamic modeling.
