Description
In this paper it is shown that the theoretical scaling of plasma pressure is very closely obeyed using ordinary Q-switched laser pulses, resulting in velocities of over 2 x 104 cm s-1. The problems associated with increasing this velocity whilst still not rupturing the pellet have also been examined and an experiment to determine the results described. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
In diesem Artikel wird gesagt, dass die Scaling-Gesetze des Plasmadrucks bei Benutzung von mit Q-switch gesteuerten Laserpulsen sehr gut erfuellt werden, was zu Geschwindigkeiten von mehr als 2 x 104 cm s-1 fuehrt. Die Probleme, die mit der Erhoehung dieser Geschwindigkeit verbunden sind, ohne das Pellet zu zerstoeren, wurden ebenfalls untersucht. Ein Versuch zur Bestimmung der Ergebnisse wird beschrieben.
