Spatial-angular scattering of laser radiation by plasma of tungsten, aluminum, sulfur, copper and tantalum

For the first time, a series of comparative experiments has been conducted to study the scattering of radiation by laser plasma created by the impact of powerful laser radiation on targets made of $\mathrm{W}, \mathrm{Al}, \mathrm{S}, \mathrm{Cu}$, and Ta. The studies were carried out at sub-petawatt values of laser radiation power density in the focusing spot on the target. Scattering diagrams of laser plasma radiation have been obtained in two mutually perpendicular planes.
