Abstract
The shape and evolution of the dense impurity cloud surrounding an ablating micro-pellet in a hot plasma is investigated. The observations can be understood by assuming near-spherical expansion of the cloud close to the pellet and a one-dimensional flow along the field lines far from it. Distortion of the regular one-dimensional flow is often seen if the lifetime of the observed ions is long enough.
