AB  - We present a study of perpendicular subcritical shocks in a collisional laboratory plasma. Shocks areproduced by placing obstacles into the supermagnetosonic outflow from an inverse wire array z pinch. Wedemonstrate the existence of subcritical shocks in this regime and find that secondary shocks form in thedownstream. Detailed measurements of the subcritical shock structure confirm the absence of ahydrodynamic jump. We calculate the classical (Spitzer) resistive diffusion length and show that it isapproximately equal to the shock width. We measure little heating across the shock (< 10% of the ionkinetic energy) which is consistent with an absence of viscous dissipation.
