Abstract
The flow of low-beta laser-produced plasmas across a magnetic field was studied. When a metallic plate was placed adjacent to the plasma stream, low atomic mass plasmas were confined to a region 17 cm from the target. High mass plasmas were not affected within the limits of the vacuum chamber. These observations confirm E×B drift as the mechanism of cross-field flow.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
