Plasmas produced by irradiating massive carbon targets with a 1.064 {mu}m, 1.5 ns laser pulse at incident energies of {approximately}100 J have been investigated. UV thermal Thomson scattering was used to obtain the electron and ion temperatures, as well as drift velocities. The electron density was obtained by optical interferometry. The results are compared to hydrodynamic computer modeling. 6 refs., 6 figs.
