Accurate modeling of astrophysical jets is critical for understanding accretion systems and their impact on the interstellar medium. While astronomical observations can validate models, they have limitations. Controlled laboratory experiments offer a complementary approach for qualitative and quantitative demonstration. Laser experiments offer a complementary approach. This article introduces a new platform on the OMEGA laser facility for high-velocity (1500 kms−1), high-aspect-ratio (∼36) jet creation with strong cylindrical symmetry. This platform's capabilities bridge observational gaps, enabling controlled initial conditions and direct measurements of plasma characteristics, crucial for refining astrophysical jet dynamics and improving the models accuracy.
