Observation of high-pressure blast-wave decursors

We observe, for the first time in a laboratory, the formation of decursors at intersections of planar surfaces with powerful blast waves. The blast waves, which have hundreds-kilobar overpressures, are created by rapid ablation of material heated with an intense laser beam.
