Figure 4
Measurement of plasma density along the broken wire channel. (a) A sketch and an image of the microwave diagnostics setup. (b) A typical measurement of plasma evolution obtained by the microwave setup, (c) Plasma density along the broken wire channel. Each curve represents a different fragment of the beam, the energy of laser radiation in each fragment is indicated in the legend of the figure. The shade over the data points represents the error of the measurement.
