Abstract
Evidence has been obtained for collision-free momentum transfer between the ions of interstreaming plasmas in a laser-produced-plasma experiment. Diagnostics employed included fast photography, shadowgraphy, and electric potential probes. Spectroscopy provided direct evidence of momentum transfer from Doppler shifts of ion lines.Keywords
