Abstract
The spatial profile, as well as ion-velocity distribution of laser-pro duced plasmas can be controlled experimentally by varying the time-for m of laser pulse. A compression of nearly all produced plasma into a t hin monovelocity spherical shell has been observed for the first time. A hydrodynamic numerical simulation shows that the shell generates du e to special dynamics of ion ablation and geometry of experiment.
