Optical measurements in an exploding wire experiment

We present optical measurements (Shadow and Schlieren pictures) of a 12.5 Joule exploding wire experiment. After performing a large number of shots some sort of time evolution can be reconstructed from the pictures. The pictures were taken during the dark phase (zero current) and the plasma phase. A...
