Figure 26 shows side-on shadowgrams obtained for the two configurations.
The proton beam was applied to probing large-scale laserproduced plasmas, both in face-on and side-on configurations.
This is best seen in a pinhole camera image, which was taken side-on.
It is seen from both side-on and end-on measurements that the precursor pinch persists for a long time, indeed until the implosion of the array.
First, all animals are depicted side-on as a filled silhouette.
In these calculations, we assumed the ellipsosomes to be spherically symmetrical so that our side-on measurements were presumed valid in the axial direction.
This type of plasma has an advantage in plasma diagnostics where the side-on measurement fulfills the optically thin condition.
The laser beam was split to provide simultaneous end-on and side-on measurements.
