Vapour shielding dynamics. The surface temperature at the target centre (a) and edge (b) and Sn emission ce during 17.2–18 s after initiating a 22.0 MW m−2 He discharge. Three characteristic phases within a typical oscillation period are indicated by the roman numerals I–III. c The total line-integrated intensity at 425.5 nm and d, e show, respectively, the penetration into the upstream plasma and the radial extent of the vapour cloud
