When Shock Waves Collide
P. Hartigan, J. Foster, A. Frank +10
Supersonic outflows from objects as varied as stellar jets, massive stars and novae often exhibit multiple shock waves that overlap one another. When the intersection angle between…
Observations of Pressure Anisotropy Effects within Semi-Collisional Magnetized-Plasma Bubbles
E. R. Tubman, A. S. Joglekar, A. F. A. Bott +21
Magnetized plasma interactions are ubiquitous in astrophysical and laboratory plasmas. Various physical effects have been shown to be important within colliding plasma flows influe…
Counter-propagating radiative shock experiments on the Orion laser
F. Suzuki-Vidal, T. Clayson, G. F. Swadling +18
We present new experiments to study the formation of radiative shocks and the interaction between two counter-propagating radiative shocks. The experiments were performed at the Or…
Anomalies in Radioactive Decay Rates: A Bibliography of Measurements and Theory
M. H. McDuffie, P. Graham, J. L. Eppele +4
Knowledge of the decay rates (or half-lives) of radioisotopes is critical in many fields, including medicine, archeology, and nuclear physics, to name just a few. Central to the ma…
Counter-propagating radiative shock experiments on the Orion laser and the formation of radiative precursors
T. Clayson, F. Suzuki-Vidal, S. V. Lebedev +18
We present results from new experiments to study the dynamics of radiative shocks, reverse shocks and radiative precursors. Laser ablation of a solid piston by the Orion high-power…
