**International Conference "Extreme states of substance. Detonation.
Shock waves"** is arranged in the frameworld of regular topical
scientific readings held by Russian Federal Nuclear Center - VNIIEF. As
the previous Khariton\'s Topical Scientific Readings, this Conference is
devoted to memory of the outstanding scientist of the previous century
Academician\
Yuly B. Khariton, who was a founder and Scientific Head of the largest
Russian Research Center -- VNIIEF for nearly fifty years.

Topics of the Conference continue topics of the III, V, VII, IX
Khariton\'s Readings named **"Extreme states of substance. Detonation.
Shock waves".** (2001, 2003, 2005, 2007).

The Conference subject was among the favorite scientific interests of
Yuly B. Khariton. It is still one of the foundation stones of the VNIIEF
scientific school.

Participants and guests of the Conference will have opportunity to visit
House-Museum of Yuly B. Khariton, VNIIEF Museum of Nuclear Weapon.

The city of Sarov, where RFNC--VNIIEF is located, is also famous for its
