Abstract: There is a scientific need to obtain new data to constrain and refine next generation multi‐phase equation‐of‐state (EOS) for metals. Experiments are needed to locate phase boundaries, determine transition kinetic times, and to obtain EOS and Hugoniot data for relevant phases. The objectives of the current work was to examine the multiphase properties for cerium including the dynamic melt boundary and the low‐pressure solid‐solid phase transition through the critical point. These objectives were addressed by performing plate impact experiments that used multiple experimental configurations including front‐surface impact experiments to directly measure transition kinetics, multislug experiments that used the overtake method to measure sound speeds at pressure, and preheat experiments to map out phase boundaries. Preliminary data and analysis obtained for cerium will be presented.
