Investigation of dynamic and stability of laser-produced plasma in strong external magnetic field

The paper presents results of studies of the behaviour of a laser-produced plasma in strong external axial and transverse magnetic field of 5-20 T in induction generated from a flat tenon target at the laser power densities o f about 10(14) W cm(-2). The investigations were carried on by means of a t hree-frame interferometry and a non-contact magnetic probe, so-called remot e magnetic probe (RMP). The dynamics of the process of creation of the diam agnetic cavity, its shape and dimensions have been determined. Also compute r simulation of plasma expansion by 2D MHD code was made.
