Shock Hugoniot Data for Water up to 5 Mbar Obtained with Quartz Standard at High-Energy Laser Facilities

<div>Experimental setup: a sketch of the multilayered target design at the PHELIX laser facility in planar geometry with its associated thicknesses used in our experiment. Drive laser from the top. Bottom: the VISAR and SOP diagnostics which measure the shock velocity and the self-emission of the shocked target on the rear side.</div>
