Abstract:The interaction of supersonic laser-driven plasma jets with a secondary gas target was studied experimentally. The plasma parameters of the jet, and resulting shock, were characterized using a combination of multi-frame interferometry/shadowgraphy and X-ray diagnostics, allowing for a detailed study of their structure and evolution. The velocity was obtained with an X-ray streak camera, and filtered X-ray pinhole imaging was used to infer the electron temperature in the jet and shock. The density and topology … Show more
