Abstract
General conditions under which rarefaction shocks can exist in the expanding corona of a plasma heated by a laser are derived. In particular, for the case of a two-electron temperature isothermal plasma with temperatures Th and Tc, such a shock is shown to occur if Th/Tc≳5+√24. The case of rarefaction shocks induced by the ponderomotive force is also briefly discussed.
