title: Cell model of hydrogen liquid at megabar pressures.
abstract: We present a new model for the quantum fluid resulting from the melting of crystal hydrogen at megabar pressures. This model is based on a cell approach that takes into account of localized electron states and the effect of proton degeneration. The predictions of our model are in good agreement with recent experimental results on the anomalies in the melting process.
