Figure 3

The width of the plasma flow as a function of the distance away from the target, s measured at various delay times with and without an imposed magnetic field. The widths at 15 ns are measured using the Schlieren diagnostic whereas those at 75 ns and 120 ns are measured using the radiography images. At early times, in the flow-launching region, the collimating role of the magnetic is not yet noticeable, while at later times a clear decrease in flow width is observed when the field of 15 T is applied. The inset shows, as an example, the raw data for the X-ray radiography image at 120 ns with an imposed field of 15 T, showing how the measurements are taken.
