The Shock Waves and Extreme Conditions Group at the Institute of Physics is a specialised community that consists of experts from industry and academia focused on the behaviour of materials under extreme conditions, from dynamic through to static events. The group acts as a link between physicists and scientists from different technological fields to facilitate multi-disciplinary research and discussions concerning experimental and theoretical developments. The group focus areas range from static high pressures, shock waves, blast and energetic materials, to materials characterisation across a range of strain rates and the effects of high-energy and high-rate energy deposition. As part of our activities, we are organising a series of institutional talks delivered by experts in the field. These events are designed for both the physics and research community as well as for current students and early career scientists interested in opportunities in the field. This talk will be delivered by Dr Alexander Rack, the Principal Beamline Scientist at ESRF. The speaker will cover the use of high-energy synchrotrons for the in-situ X-ray imaging of shock and high-strain rate phenomena.

The talk commences at 5:30pm and concludes at 6:30pm. There is no fee to attend this event, but you must register by completing the registration form.
