The main Hugoniots of 10 metals

The main Hugoniots were constructed for 10 metals (Al, Ti, Fe, Ni, Cu, Mo, Cd, Та, Pb, U) on the base of theoretical and experimental data up to $P\sim10$ Gbars. The Hugoniots $D(u)$ are approximated with simple formulae. The record accuracy 0.1–0.2% achieved for Cu, Fe and Al make them the shock-wave standards. Electron shells reconstruction for Ti and Та was observed clearly at $P>1$ Mbar. The traditional treatment of experiments for Al occured unrelieble, so previous Al can't be a good standard.
