Transition from Collisional to Collisionless Regimes in Interpenetrating Plasma Flows on the National Ignition Facility

A study of the transition from collisional to collisionless plasma flows has been carried out at the National Ignition Facility using high Mach number (M>4) counterstreaming plasmas. In these experiments, CD-CD and CD-CH planar foils separated by 6–10 mm are irradiated with laser energies of 250 ...
