To measure the plasma density evolution a three frame interferometric system was employed. The experimental results demonstrate that the flyer disk–massive target collision generates an axial plasma jet corresponding to a flat shock wave propagating in a massive target. This form of the shock wave was deduced from a crater trapezoidal shape which was reconstructed by means of crater replica technique.}, title={Plasma jet generation by flyer disk collision with massive target}, type={artykuł}, keywords={optyka, ablative acceleration, plasma jet, flyer disk, interferometry, macroparticle, double target, linear electron density, crater, shock wave}, }
