Alpha and proton reaction product spectra have been measured in exploding pusher experiments on the symmetrical illumination six-beam ZETA laser system (Nd-doped phosphate glass). DT ion temperatures and positive energy shifts for ..cap alpha.. particles and protons were obtained for experiments with incident on-target power between 1 and 2.5 TW. Time-averaged electrostatic potentials have been measured up to 330 kV.
