Abstract. The results on measurements of thermodynamic properties and electrical conductivity of Helium compressed with shock wave reverberation technique up to pressure and density of 200 GPa and 1.4 g/cc are presented. The increase of the Helium conductivity up to the values of 1000 1/(Ohm-cm) was found at the densities more than 0.7 g/cc and temperature more than 15 kK. Comparison of the experimental results with different theoretical models of thermodynamic and transport properties of shocked Helium was done. INTRODUCTION Being second after hydrogen in the set of element abundance in universe, helium attracts attention of theory due to simplicity of its atom structure. Thermophysical properties of helium in the Mbar pressure range at elevated temperatures (0.5-5 eV) are of interest to astrophysical researchers [1]. First and second ionization take place in this region. However, up to now only one dynamic experimental investigation have been performed [2]. On the basis of these experiments the semi-empirical EOS of helium [3] in the area of high density and pressure was improved. Authors of [2-3] did not consider ionization degree of shocked matter because of high value of first and second ionization energy (24.6 and 54.4 eV). Pressure of helium metallization at low temperatures is estimated about 11.2 TPa according to [3]. In a liquid state and at elevated temperatures pressures of the first and second ionization are considerably lower than that in solid state, as well as, to result in possible realization of these transformation in kinds of plasma phase transitions (PPT) [ 4-7]. solid metal 2 3 4 Lg(T/K) 5 FIGURE 1.
