Abstract
We present the results of studying experimentally the expansion of laser plasma in a strong external magnetic field (with a magnetic flux density of 13.5 T) at various sizes of the region of plasma formation on the surface of a solid-state target. It is shown that when the size of the plasma formation region is smaller than the classical plasma braking radius, a nearly identical topology of plasma flows is observed, which is characterized by the formation of a thin plasma sheet directed along the external magnetic field. If the width of the plasma formation region is comparable with the classical plasma braking radius, an additional plasma sheet starts to be formed.
