Fig. 1. Transverse profiles of Gaussian, super-Gaussian, and Lorentzian lasers.

Fig. 2. Transverse distributions of denary logarithm of fast electron density at t = 1.6 ps. The density in this and the other figures is in units of m⁻³.

Fig. 3. Longitudinal distributions of denary logarithm of fast electron density [(a) and (b)], target resistivity [(c) and (d)], and magnetic field B_y [(e) and (f)] at t = 1.0 ps [(a), (c), and (e)] and 1.6 ps [(b), (d), and (f)]. The resistivity and magnetic field in this and the other figures are in units of Ω⋅m and T, respectively.
