Scientific paper

The VULCAN laser at the Central Laser Facility has been used for laboratory simulations of collision-less astrophysical shocks. By ensuring that the experiment exhibit similar values of key dimension-less parameters to those in supernova remnants the hydrodynamics and magnetic field of the experiment are scaled to those of SNR. This enables some of the most challenging aspects of shock behavior to be tested directly against experiment. The experiments provide dat against which to test current theory. Collision-less shock formation, and plasma interaction of two counter- propagating colliding foils permeated by a strong magnetic field are discussed.
