Experimental study of reverse shock structure in magnetised high energy density plasma flows driven by an inverse wire array Z pinch

The thesis reports on the design and data from a new experimental platform, which uses the supersonic ablated plasma flow from an inverse wire array z pinch to create a highly diagnosed interaction geometry for studying magnetised reverse shocks. The flow (v~10^7cm/s, Ms~4-5) is generated with a fro...
