The XI Khariton Topical Readings - International Conference "Extreme states of substance. Detonation. Shock waves" was arranged on 16 - 20 March 2009 in the frameworld of regular topical scientific readings held by Russian Federal Nuclear Center - VNIIEF.
Topics of the Conference continue topics of the III, V, VII, IX Khariton's Readings (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 had opportunity to visit House-Museum of Yuly B. Khariton, VNIIEF Museum of Nuclear Weapon.
