A comprehensive suite of spatially and temporally resolved diagnostics are used to extensively probe the HED plasmas [2]. These diagnostics include self-emission imaging (optical and XUV), laser interferometry (355 nm and 532 nm wavelength), Faraday rotation imaging (1053 nm wavelength), and collective optical Thomson Scattering (532 nm wavelength, 2 J) [3].
Recent experimental campaigns have been focused on studying magnetized quasi-perpendicular shocks [4], X-ray ablated silicon plasmas [5], quasi-Keplerian rotating plasma flows [6], evidence of non-thermal ion heating in Thomson spectra from magnetic reconnection experiments, and the role radiation physics plays in determining the structure of colliding plasma flows comprised of mid-Z elements.
