Project Description

The project involves both theoretical and experimental investigations to determine the causes and nature of luminescence in gases. A main purpose is to characterize what occurs in extreme bubble collapse in a liquid, especially that driven by high frequency acoustic radiation. It is also of interest to examine extreme mechanisms that can drive the emission of radiation to higher frequencies and amplitudes. The main approach is to use shock focusing in various forms to achieve this end.
