Description
The technique of near forward laser scattering is used for the first time in an ignition-relevant laser plasma to obtain a background and laser driven fluctuation spectrum. The fluctuations cause beam spray which can affect the symmetry in an inertial confinement fusion experiment. These results provide a benchmark for developing numerical models of beam spray. copyright 1999 The American Physical Society
