ACCESS HIGHLIGHT AT PALS: Radiation properties of high-power laser generated supersonic jets and shocks
The experimental campaign performed at the Laserlab-Europe partner PALS was dedicated to the study of supersonic plasma jets and shocks, with particular focus on the radiative properties of their formation and evolution. The findings showed that the density and topology of the ambient plasma had a significant effect on the shock geometry, both by directly altering the plasma parameters in the interaction region, but also indirectly by its influence on the jet formation.
