Abstract
Beam-target interaction experiments performed at the Karlsruhe Light I on Facility (KALIF) have previously been simulated by one-dimensional (1D) radiation hydrodynamics in slab geometry, which implies a spacial ly homogeneous beam power distribution. In this paper the consequences of a non-homogeneous beam power distribution are studied by 2D hydrod ynamical simulations. It is shown that - for conditions valid at KALIF - time and space resolved measurements of the target back surface vel ocity can be used to deduce information on the spacial beam profile.
