Abstract:
The structure of strong laser-plasma-driven shock waves expanding in a low-pressure ambient gas has been studied with the use of a multiframe interferometry. It was found that conical shock waves are generated along with spherical ones. At the late stages, conical shock waves appear as projections ahead of a spherical wave. It is shown that these projections are not directly connected with the hydrodynamic instability of spherical shock waves.
