Magnetic Bubble Formation Produced by an Expanding Laser Plasma

Abstract

A magnetic depleted bubble resulting from the expansion of a laser- generated debris plasma into a low density magnetized background plasma is observed. A compressed magnetic field propagates slightly ahead of the debris plasma and has a thickness on the order of 1 cm.
