Abstract.
The plasma jet formed on the rear surface of a foil in laser–solid interaction is investigated by laser probing. The rear plasma jet, which is in line with the laser, formed a few picoseconds after the incidence of the focused laser, is due to a beam of fast electrons propagating through the target and is collimated by a strong magnetic field in the plasma.
