Title: Blastwaves Subject to High Magnetic Fields on the GHOST Laser
Description
Abstract: Plasma flows subject to high magnetic pressures exhibit drastically different dynamics. Of particular astrophysical interest is the magnetized supernova remnant (SNR) where magnetic pressures are thought to alter the flows on the surface of the shock leading to a more stable structure. Using the GHOST laser, magnetized blast front dynamics will be studied in the regimes of β ~ 1 similar to that seen in an SNR.
