dc.description.abstract	Holographic interferometry of the interaction of a radially incident intense CO2 laser beam (1011 W/cm2, 38‐nsec FWHM pulse) with an overdense helium Z‐pinch plasma (ne≳1019 e/cm3, Te∼20 eV, L=100 μm) has indicated the presence of a laser‐driven shock. The radial dimension of the shock was found to be similar to the electron thermal conduction length, several times larger than the focal‐spot dimension. Density structure within the shock was inferred from holographic interferograms. Heuristic considerations of the shock density ratio, the front thickness, and the shock velocity allowed for an estimate of 50–80% energy absorption.	en_US
