Miniature shock tube for laser driven shocks
International audienceWe describe in this paper the design of a miniature shock tube (smaller than 1 cm3) that can be placed in a vacuum vessel and allows transverse optical probing and longitudinal backside XUV emission spectroscopy. Typical application is the study of laser launched radiative shocks, in the framework of what is called "laboratory Astrophysics"
Experimental study of radiative shocks at PALS facility
We report on the investigation of strong radiative shocks generated with the
high energy, sub-nanosecond iodine laser at PALS. These shock waves are
characterized by a developed radiative precursor and their dynamics is analyzed
over long time scales (~50 ns), approaching a quasi-stationary limit. We
present the first preliminary results on the rear side XUV spectroscopy. These
studies are relevant to the understanding of the spectroscopic signatures of
accretion shocks in Classical T Tauri Stars.Comment: 21 pages, 1 table, 7 figure
