Radiative cooling effects on reverse shocks formed by magnetised supersonic plasma flows
S. Merlini, J. D. Hare, G. C. Burdiak +15
We study the structure of reverse shocks formed by the collision of supersonic, magnetised plasma flows driven by an inverse (or exploding) wire array with a planar conducting obst…
The structure of 3D collisional magnetized bow shocks in pulsed-power-driven plasma flow
Rishabh Datta, Danny R. Russell, Iek Tang +5
We investigate 3D bow shocks in a highly collisional magnetized aluminum plasma, generated during the ablation phase of an exploding wire array on the MAGPIE facility (1.4 MA, 240…
Time-resolved velocity and ion sound speed measurements from simultaneous bow shock imaging and inductive probe measurements
R. Datta, D. R. Russell, T. Clayson +3
We present a technique to measure the time-resolved velocity and ion sound speed in magnetized, supersonic high-energy-density plasmas. We place an inductive (`b-dot') probe in a s…
Experimental study of the interaction of two laser-driven radiative shocks at the PALS laser
R. L. Singh, C. Stehle, F. Suzuki-Vidal +14
Radiative shocks (RS) are complex phenomena which are ubiquitous in astrophysical environments. The study of such hypersonic shocks in the laboratory, under controlled conditions,…
First radiative shock experiments on the SG-II laser
Francisco Suzuki-Vidal, Thomas Clayson, Chantal Stehlé +17
We report on the design and first results from experiments looking at the formation of radiative shocks on the Shenguang-II (SG-II) laser at the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fi…
An Imaging Refractometer for Density Fluctuation Measurements in High Energy Density Plasmas
J. D. Hare, G. C. Burdiak, S. Merlini +9
We report on a recently developed laser-probing diagnostic which allows direct measurements of ray-deflection angles in one axis, whilst retaining imaging capabilities in the other…
