The generation of upstream-propagating waves in astrophysically-relevant laboratory plasmas

The primary focus in this thesis is on the production and detection of upstream-propagating waves in laser-laboratory plasmas. Upstream waves are a feature of shocks in plasmas; launched at or just ahead of the shock, they travel against the flow into the unshocked medium. Despite the importance of...
