Astrophysical collisionless shock is one of the most powerful particle accelerators in the Universe, originating from the interaction between supersonic plasma flows and the background media that are typically in turbulent states. In this talk, I shall report our recent experimental results of the interactions between laser-produced collisionless shock and plasma turbulence on Shenguan-II laser facility, where electron fermi accelerations are observed.
