In  recent OMEGA laser experiments we demonstrated the creation of narrowly collimated MG 
magnetized plasma jets by using 20 OMEGA beams from one hemisphere to form a hollow ring 
pattern on a flat CH target.  The strong MG poloidal magnetic field of these jets is created 
via the Biermann Battery (grad Pe x grad ne) mechanism by the collisions of individual laser 
blow offs and further compressed by the on-axis flow.  The magnetic field gets stronger, more 
ordered and persists to greater distances from the target as d is increased from 0 to 1200 microns.  
Here we propose the formation and evolution of magnetized high-beta shocks created by the 
collision of two such MG plasma jets, and the effects of changing the ring radius, target 
separation and composition.  Results from 2D and 3D FLASH code simulations, and designs 
for the next  OMEGA experiments, will be presented.   Possible applications of such high-beta 
magnetized shocks to young stellar object outflows will also be discussed.
