Impact of a perpendicular magnetic field on laser-induced plasma flows measured by means of x-ray diagnostics
The results of investigation for an external transverse magnetic field impact on the dynamics of a plasma flow are shown. The plasma is generated by interaction of a nanosecond laser pulse at energy about 40~J with a solid Teflon target. The spatial profiles of intensities for fluoride spectral lines in a range 800--1000~eV are measured by focusing spectrometer with a spatial resolution (FSSR). The electron density and temperature profiles are shown. We observe the formation of a plasma shocked region with an increased parameters compared with a free propagation case as well as a propagation in the longitudinal magnetic field.
