The transverse shock speeds were 3 to 25 cm\/ usec in 50 to 100 mTorr deuterium. Ruby laser light was incident at a right angle to the axis in the midpoint of the annular gap of an electromagnetically driven coaxial shock tube.and scattered 9 light was collected at 90 degrees. Plasma created by reflecting a strong shock from a dielectric wall was also studied. It is found that the plasma electron temperature (10-30 eV) is much less than the ion temperature (100-500 eV) as is predicted by theory for the early life of the \u003cbr\u003e plasma. Electron-lon Coulomb colllslonal temperature relaxation does not occur during the times of observation (3-4, AA sec). Electron heating in the plasma is caused primarily by Ohmic dissipation of currents in the shock structure and piston. Plasma densities (0.5-3.5x1016 cm-3) \u003cbr\u003e agree well with shock theory predictions. For gas ionizing shocks, good agreement with collisional theory is found for the electron temperature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Office of Scientific \u0026amp;.
