Abstract

We present an experimental characterization of jet propagation in an ambient medium. An intense laser (LULI2000) was used to generate the plasma jet using foam filled cone target. We observed, with several diagnostics, a perturbation in the interaction region between the jet and the ambient medium. The effect of the ambient medium on the jet velocity is also presented.
