Abstract
The results of a study of the interaction of 60 ns pulses from a gain switched TEA CO2 laser with a range of solid targets are described. Measurements using charge collector probes and soft-X-ray detectors and results of the plasma backscatter are reported for laser flux densities up to 1.2*1011 W cm-2.Keywords
