Résumé : A H-tube shock facility has been designed and realized. Symmetry and synchronism have been confirmed by observational techniques. Filling gas pressure and capacitors voltage are the most sensitive parameters. Different confogurations of attached and detached shocks were recorded. In the later regime, both plasmas are repelled by reflected shocks and the plasmas preceed the shock-waves. Under certain circumstances, even a slightly ionized plasma is generated at the very spot of the shocks collision. When the shock-waves merge into the plasma fronts, the plasma starting fram the collision region is persistant and fills the volume left behind the reflected shocks. The radiation intensity and its time duration depend strongly on the gas and the energy stored in the capacitors. © 1983 SPIE.
