We simulate an astrophysical supernova collision with the residual gas from the initial red or blue giant on the LLNL Nova laser which produces x rays in a hohlraum as a driver[1]. Two dimensional LASNEX simulations follow the Tr ~220 eV x ray ablation and acceleration of 200 microns of C_8H_7Br1 across a 150 micron gap into SiO2 foam (mass density .04). The C_8H_7Br1 collides with the SiO2 at ~ 10^7 cm/sec and drives forward and reverse shocks[2]. We initiate Rayleigh-Taylor and Richtmyer-Meshkov instabilities with 50-100 micron wavelength, 1 micron amplitude perturbations or with random noise and investigate magnetic fields[3]. We compare experimental x ray back lighted streaks to computer generated streaks. Related papers by Bruce Remington, Gail Glendinning, Paul Drake and Jave Kane are at this meeting.
