Abstract

The laser experiments of astrophysical nature were conducted on radiative jet formation, where conically shaped targets were irradiated by intense laser light. The experimental results show that jets of high-Z material were more radiatively cooled and were well collimated, whereas low-Z materials jets were adiabatically expanded. The internal Mach numbers and radiative cooling parameters of the experimental jets were relevant to those of the astrophysical jets.
