on the centre axis and expands downstream along the field lines. In magnetic nozzle A, from a wave form observation, the pulse-width in the direction 0=90° increases with the applied field although the peak value decreases. Also, we often noticed oscillations in the tail of the probe output. This suggests that the laser-induced plasma expands in the magnetic nozzle in the same manner as a plasma contained in a magnetic mirror [12].
