Comment on ''The significance of the distribution of hot spots on the interpretation of laser-produced plasma experiments''
Abstract
It is shown that the estimation of the scaling laws relating plasma parameters to laser intensity obtained by a least-squares fit for logarithmically transformed variables implicitly takes into account the effect of laser hot-spot distributions.
