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…
Interactions of magnetized plasma flows in pulsed-power driven experiments
L G Suttle, G C Burdiak, C L Cheung +11
A supersonic flow of magnetized plasma is produced by the application of a 1 MA-peak, 500 ns current pulse to a cylindrical arrangement of parallel wires, known as an inverse wire…
Ion heating and magnetic flux pile-up in a magnetic reconnection experiment with super-Alfvenic plasma inflows
L. G. Suttle, J. D. Hare, S. V. Lebedev +15
This work presents a magnetic reconnection experiment in which the kinetic, magnetic and thermal properties of the plasma each play an important role in the overall energy balance…
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…
