Abstract
The impact transferred from laser-produced plasma to target was measured, and the formed plasma was studied by schlieren and shadow photographs. The cylindrical detonation wave theory was in general agreement with the plasma features in the early energy deposition phase but failed to predict the momentum transfer from plasma to target. The momentum transfer agreed with the theory of spherical blast wave which follows the cylindrical detonation wave.Keywords
