Recent Experimental and Computational Results on One Dimensional Colliding Laser-Produced Plasmas

In the experiment, a time-resolved ICCD camera was deployed to capture the flow behaviour of two counter-propagating laser-produced plasmas (LPPs) collimated by two face-to-face channels, which makes the plasmas close to one dimensional (1-D). The entire process of the formation and decay of the so-called stagnation layer between the two channelled plasmas can be clearly observed.
