Abstract
Magnetic fields in excess of G are expected to arise in laser-produced plasmas in which a discontinuity in atomic weight of the target occurs in the focal spot. The upper limit to is controlled by fluid disassembly of the field layer due to magnetic pressure. This may provide a means for direct measurement of these fields in laser-produced plasmas.
