Abstract

Using powerful lasers, we are now able to produce in laboratory relevant regimes of density, temperature and velocity to create a diagnosable exact scaled model of magnetic cataclysmic variables accretion column. We present here preliminary results of a numerical modeling of these astrophysical objects which will allow us to precise the experimental setup of future experiments.
