With the advent of high-energy-density (HED) experimental facilities, such as high-energy
lasers and fast Z-pinch, pulsed-power facilities, millimeter-scale quantities of matter can be …

Using modern high-energy-density facilities it is straightforward to produce radiative shock
waves in which the transfer of energy by radiation controls the hydrodynamic structure of the …

States in the neutron-deficient Te 1 1 0, 1 1 2 isotopes have been populated following Ni
58+ 5 8, 6 0 Ni reactions. Gamma-ray coincidence data were acquired with the Eurogam …

The Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability is a common occurrence in nature, notably in
astrophysical systems like supernovae, where it serves to mix the dense layers of the interior …

Radiative shocks are ubiquitous in stellar environments and are characterized by high
temperature plasma emitting a considerable fraction of their energy as radiation. The …

The present paper is based upon the Teller Award lecture by the author, at the Inertial
Fusion Sciences and Applications conference in September, 2017. It provides a very …

Radiative shocks (RS) are complex phenomena which are ubiquitous in astrophysical
environments. The study of such hypersonic shocks in the laboratory, under controlled …

Radiative shock waves are observed around astronomical objects in a wide variety of
environments, for example, they herald the birth of stars and sometimes their death. Such …

A cylindrical liner z-pinch configuration has been used to drive converging radiative shock
waves into different gases. On application of a 1.4 MA, 240 ns rise-time current pulse, a …

We report here data gathered regarding radiative shock experiments carried out on October
23, 2008. This day featured a number of nominally identical experimental shots. We discuss …
