Studies of plasmas produced by picosecond laser pulses
This thesis contains a study into plasmas created by the interaction of 35ps laser pulses, of energy ≃ 100mJ and wavelength 1064nm, with planar gold and carbon targets mounted in a vacuum chamber. A time-of-flight mass spectrometer, employing electrostatic separation of particles, was used as the pl...
