Experimental evidence for collisional shock formation via two obliquely merging supersonic plasma jets

We report spatially resolved measurements of the oblique merging of two supersonic laboratory plasma jets. The jets are formed and launched by pulsed-power-driven railguns using injected argon, and have electron density \(\sim 10^{14}\) cm\(^{-3}\), electron temperature \(\approx 1.4\) eV, ionizatio...
