Abstract
The problem of calculation of the reflectivity of non-ideal shock-compressed plasmas is revisited. The dielectric formalism based on the method of moments incorporating exact asymptotic forms and sum rules is applied to the new experimental data. The approach is based on the Ansatz of reflection of laser radiation from a thin shock-front and possesses one adjustable parameter which depends only on the thermodynamic conditions of the experiment. A self-consistent agreement with all available experimental data is achieved.
