摘要: The VULCAN [C. N. Danson et al., Opt. Commun. 103, 392 (1993)] laser at the UK Central Laser Facility is being used for laboratory-based simulations of collisionless shocks. By ensuring that key dimensionless parameters in experiments have values similar to those supernova remnants (SNRs), hydrodynamics and magnetic field experiment are scaled a SNR. This makes it possible investigate experimentally physics magnetized shocks such objects. providing data against which test current theory. Collisionless shock formation interaction two counterpropagating colliding plasmas permeated by strong discussed.
