Density and temperature measurements on laser generated radiative shocks

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

This paper presents some recent measurements on radiative shocks generated in a xenon gas cell using high power laser. We show new results on temperature and electronic density, and on radial expansion of the shock at various initial conditions (laser energy and gas pressure). The data obtained are compared with one-dimensional and two-dimensional hydro simulations.
