title = "Characterization of electron densities and temperatures in radiative shocks",
abstract = "Radiative supercritical planar shocks have been produced in xenon gas at pressure of about 0.2 bar at the Laboratoire d'Utilisation des Lasers Intenses (LULI). Such shocks present strong radiative precursors. Attention is paid both on time and space resolved diagnostics of the local electron density and temperature in the precursor, in order to test the complex coupling between hydrodynamics and radiation. The effects of the temporal laser pulse shape and of the gas pressure, on the precursor are quantified.",
