Experimental measurements of the shift and width of the aluminium K-absorption
edge in laser shock-compressed plasma is presented. The spectrometer used
in these experiments allows an accurate wavelength calibration and fiduciary
and hence provides precise measurements of both the shift and the width of
the absorption edge. Results have been obtained for compressions up to approximately
and temperatures up to about 1.5 eV. The values of shift and width are
compared with a new model with which there is very good agreement.
