Over the years\, experiments on PLX have pursued both d river development for plasma-jet-driven magneto-inertial fusion (PJMIF \, a fusion concept) and fundamental experimental studies of plasma sh ocks. This seminar will provide a review of results from PLX\, touchi ng on results from the references below\, emphasizing the most recent three-year period\, and concluding with a brief discussion of our prop osed BRB experiments motivated by fusion target development for PJMIF. This work has been supported by US-DOE (FES\, ARPA-E\, and LDRD). \n
