The dynamic compressibility of a dense aluminum plasma has been measured over the pressure range 2-4 Mbar. The characteristics of the adiabatic expansion of shock-compressed aluminum were measured simultaneously. A semiempirical, wide-range equation of state is proposed for describing the results of the dynamic experiments.
