a Profile of the ps and ns prepulse in experiments (solid line) and FLASH simulations (circle). b 1D density distribution of the expanded target driven by Gaussian (dot line) and LG (solid line) prepulse in simulations. The inset plots correspond to the two-dimensional (2D) density distributions in x-y plane. The dashed lines in the 2D inset plots indicate 1D density distributions. Here FLASH simulations are 2D cartesian.
