High-energy laser experiments on the Large Plasma Device

POSTER

Abstract

The interaction of a laser-plasma with a large magnetized plasma was studied with a high-energy laser at the Large Plasma Device. We will compare the magnetohydrodynamic response of the ambient plasma for a variety of plasma blow-off conditions as measured with an array of magnetic pickup and Langmuir probes.
