dc.description.abstractWe present experimental data regarding the formation of high-energy-density shocks in magnetically accelerated plasma flows using pulsed power drivers. We quantify the flow velocity and temperature of the ablated plasma using optical Thomson scattering and gated emission imaging across two different generators. We show that, regardless of the drive parameters, the plasma flows show continuous acceleration over centimeter spatial scales, in line with trends in published simulation work. When stationary targets are placed in these supersonic flows, bow-shock formation is observed at all drive parameters in a range of materials. In the higher density flow generated on the 1-MA COBRA generator at Cornell University, heating of the upstream flow ahead of the shock is observed and quantified, which is not observed at the lower density flow on the 0.2-MA Bertha driver at UC San Diego. When combined with previous work on the XP generator at Cornell, we can show that these three experimental setups allow control of the effect of radiation loss and upstream absorption on the formation of the bow shock.
