Abstract
We experimentally determine the dynamic characteristics, and also the parameters (concentration and temperature of the electrons) and the ionic composition of a plasma before and behind the front of a shock wave which is propagating in the gas-discharge plasma. We show that during shock wave propagation in a nitrogen plasma in the initial stages of the discharge, the shock wave is accelerated and amplified, because of the release behind the shock wave front of energy stored in the gas discharge.
