We report the characteristics of collisional plasma shocks formed during interactions between low density ([Formula: see text] cm−3), low temperature ([Formula: see text] eV), high velocity (30 km s−1), plasma jets and stagnant plasma of similar parameters. This investigation seeks to probe the structure of shocks in multi-ion-species plasmas, in particular, the presence of gradient-driven ion species separation at the shock front. The railgun-accelerated jets utilized here have previously been shown to exist in a collisional regime with intra-jet collisional mean-free-path substantially smaller than jet size [Schneider et al., Plasma Sources Sci. Technol. 29, 045013 (2020)]. To induce collisions, a dielectric barrier is located downstream of the railgun to stagnate an initially supersonic plasma jet. Around the time of stagnation, the railgun emits a second jet which shortly collides with the stagnant plasma. The presence of a structure emitting in the UV-visible band is evident in high-speed photographs of the moments immediately following the arrival of the second jet at the stagnant plasma. Analysis of interferometric and spectroscopic data suggests that the observed increase in density from the jet to the post-collision plasma is consistent with the formation of a bow shock structure with a multi-millimeter-scale ion shock layer.
