Characterization of Collisional Shock Structures Induced by the Stagnation of Railgun-driven Multi-ion-species Plasma-jets

The study of shock-waves in supersonic plasma jets is essential to understanding the complex dynamics involved in many physical systems. Specifically, ion-species separation caused by a shock wave propagating through a plasma is an important but not yet well understood phenomenon. In inertial conf...
