In this brief memo, we discuss results from several benchmark calculations performed with the HELIOS radiation-hydrodynamics code to assess the accuracy of the equation of state (EOS) models in PROPACEOS. A summary of the modeling used in PROPACEOS is provided in Ref. [1]. To this end, we have run calculations that span a broad range of the EOS parameter space of several common materials. In each case, HELIOS simulation results computed using the PROPACEOS EOS tables are compared with those using SESAME EOS tables [2]. PROPACEOS uses a QEOS-type model [3] in the strong coupling regime (i.e., at relatively high densities and low temperatures), and an isolated atom model which utilizes detailed atomic structure modeling in the weak coupling region. Properties between the weak and strong coupling regimes are obtained by interpolating in a thermodynamically consistent manner. Below we discuss results from simulations using CH, Al, and Au, thereby spanning materials having a broad range of atomic number. The SESAME tables used in these calculations were tables 7590 for CH, 3717 for Al, and 2700 for Au.
