Formation of a long-lived plasma bubble as a result of irradiation of a metal target by a pulsed XeCl laser

Abstract: It was demonstrated experimentally that long-lived plasma bubble could form when a metal target in a gas was irradiated by a nanosecond ultraviolet laser pulse. Two interpretations of the observed effect were proposed.
