A Nd:YAG Thomson scattering system is being designed and implemented at PLX for measuring the plasma target temperature profile. This measurement is essential for an investigation of the transport physics related to the merging of a discrete number of jets that form the spherical plasma liner and target, as well as for the complete characterization of the parameter space spanned by the PLX. The system must overcome challenges that arise from the unique machine design, low energy of the pulsed laser (< 0.6J) and and the supersonic nature of the plasma flow. Here, we report an overview and a present status of the development and construction of the new Thomson scattering system for PLX.
