A Thomson Scattering Study of Collisional-Shock Heated Plasmas.
Abstract
Thomson scattering was used to obtain electron temperature and density profiles in deuterium plasmas produced by strong collisional shock waves. The transverse shock speeds were 3 to 25 cm/microsecond in 50 to 100 mTorr deuterium. Ruby laser light was incident at a right angle to the axis in the midpoint of the annular gap of an electromagnetically driven coaxial shock tube and scattered light was collected at 90 degrees.
