TY  - JOUR
AB  - We report on the design and first results from experiments looking at theformation of radiative shocks on the Shenguang-II (SG-II) laser at the ShanghaiInstitute of Optics and Fine Mechanics in China. Laser-heating of a two-layerCH/CH-Br foil drives a $\sim$40 km/s shock inside a gas-cell filled with argonat an initial pressure of 1 bar. The use of gas-cell targets with large(several mm) lateral and axial extent allows the shock to propagate freelywithout any wall interactions, and permits a large field of view to imagesingle and colliding counter-propagating shocks with time resolved,point-projection X-ray backlighting ($\sim20$ $\mu$m source size, 4.3 keVphoton energy). Single shocks were imaged up to 100 ns after the onset of thelaser drive allowing to probe the growth of spatial non-uniformities in theshock apex. These results are compared with experiments looking atcounter-propagating shocks, showing a symmetric drive which leads to acollision and stagnation from $\sim$40 ns onward. We present a preliminarycomparison with numerical simulations with the radiation hydrodynamics codeARWEN, which provides expected plasma parameters for the design of futureexperiments in this facility.
