The dynamics of strong laser-driven shocks in cluster media

Shocks and blast waves are ubiquitous features observed in plasma physics and in astrophysical phenomena and, as such, have long been the subject of experimental and theoretical studies. This thesis describes experimental and numerical investigations of the dynamics of laser driven shocks in cluster...
