N1 - Funding Information:
The authors would like to acknowledge the dedicated technical support by the staff at the GEKKO-XII facility for the laser operation and target fabrication. A part of the experiments was performed under the joint-research project of the Institute of Laser Engineering, Osaka University, and supported by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), MEXT of Japan (No. 21340172 ), by a grant for the Core-to-Core Program from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) , and by a Grant-in-Aid for JSPS Fellows .

N2 - We report the laboratory experiment for high Mach-number collisionless shock formation and for studying the interaction of them. These shocks are formed in high-velocity counterstreaming plasmas produced by ablating a double-foil plastic target with a high-power laser. The laser-produced plasmas are diagnosed with space and time-resolved optical pyrometry and shadowgraphy. Multiple shocks are formed and interact with each other, resulting in the increase of plasma temperature and density.
