DESCRIPTION:When interacting with matter\, high-power lasers can produce p
 lasmas with the highest macroscopic energy density that can be obtained in
  the laboratory. Such plasmas can also exhibit the most extreme values of 
 other quantities\, notably pressure\, density\, velocity\, velocity gradie
 nt and acceleration. In this talk the author will describe experiments und
 ertaken to date that investigate material under these extreme conditions a
 s well as future experiments that are planned for the next generation of h
 igh-power lasers.
