Ballistic pendula for measuring the momentum of a laser-produced plasma
Abstract
We describe the use of a ballistic pendulum array to measure the momentum of a laser-produced plasma. An insitu calibration method is described and the pendulum results are compared to measurements made with other diagnostics.
