DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR UNMAGNETIZED COLLISIONLESS-SHOCK MEASUREMENTS IN HOMOLOGOUS FLOWS

The subject of this paper is the design of practical laser experiments that can produce collisionless shocks mediated by the Weibel instability. Such shocks may be important in a wide range of astrophysical systems. Three issues are considered. The first issue is the implications of the fact that su...
