Supersonic plasma turbulence in the laboratory

Supersonic plasma turbulence in the laboratory

Supersonic turbulence is relevant to astrophysical plasmas with their study mostly limited to numerical simulations. Here the authors demonstrate supersonic turbulence in collisional high Mach number plasma jets generated in laboratory by using high power lasers.
