Summary form only given. Radiative shocks occur in many high-energy density explosions, but prove difficult to create in laboratory experiments or to fully model with astrophysical codes. Here we describe an experiment significant to astrophysical shocks, which produces a driven, quasi-planar radiative shock in xenon gas at 6 mg/cc. A thin, low-Z disk is driven into a cylindrical volume of xenon gas...
Summary form only given. Our group has been studying radiative shocks using laser targets that contain a gas, most often xenon. Our motivation includes the production of conditions in the laboratory relevant to astrophysical phenomena and astrophysical simulation codes. A specific phenomenon of interest is the production of a dense, collapsed layer in a given material. Past experiments have consisted...
