Abstract
Sensitive ballistic and torsion pendulums, capable of measuring momenta of 3*10-9 N s, were developed. They were used for measuring the momentum transfer to a solid target irradiated by a 1.06 mu m high-intensity laser and the angular distribution of the momentum in the blow-off plasma.Keywords
