Isochoric heating and strong blast wave formation driven by fast electrons in solid-density targets

We experimentally investigate the fast ( $\lt 1\,\mathrm{ps}$ ) isochoric heating of multi-layer metallic foils and subsequent high-pressure hydrodynamics induced by energetic electrons driven by high-intensity, high-contrast laser pulses. The early-time temperature profile inside the target is meas...
