Abstract

The words of this title may at first seem incompatible. We review a range of experiments where dynamic structures have been created. We show that it is possible to construct gas and plasma shapes using colliding shocks cigars and cylinders, curved waveguides, and even waveguides with rectangular cross sections. The colliding plasma lens/isolator lead to the colliding shock lens. We now suggest that colliding shock waveguides could find application in laser acceleration and soft X ray schemes. Colliding shock waveguides can be as long as necessary unlike gas jets.
