TL;DR: Experimental results from the National Ignition Facility show the role of electron heat transfer on the growth of Rayleigh–Taylor instability in young supernova remnants.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the effects of wall shocks in experiments performed on the Omega Laser Facility, launching shocks propagating through xenon with speeds above 100 km/s driven by ablation pressures of approximately 50 Mbars.

TL;DR: In this paper, an indirectly-driven shock tube experiment fielded on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) was used to create a high energy-density hydrodynamics platform at unprecedented scale.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of laser-driven mix experiments has been designed for the University of Rochester's OMEGA laser to investigate the turbulent mixing at material interfaces when subject to multiple shocks and reshocks or high-speed shear.

TL;DR: The Big Area BackLighter provides an alternative to Pinhole-Apertured point-projection Backlighting (PABL) for a large field of view and bypasses the challenges for PABL in the equatorial plane of the NIF target chamber where space is limited.
