Laser produced plasma embedded in a longitudinal magnetic field was studied using a 1 MA pulsed power generator coupled with a 50 TW laser. Half turn coil loads with an internal diameter of 2.5-3.5mm generate a 50-70T axial magnetic field near the load. A subpicosecond laser pulse with an intensity of 10(18)-10(19) W/cm(2) irradiates a thin Si foil target in the magnetic field of the coil load. A laser produced plasma plume collimates within the longitudinal field to a narrow jet 0.2-0.3mm in diameter with a length of 3-4mm and an electron plasma density of (0.2-1)x10(20) cm(-3) on the jet axis. The jet propagates with a velocity of 160-200km/s in general agreement with magnetohydrodynamic simulations. X-ray spectral measurements show an increase in the plasma electron density resulting from the magnetic confinement of the jet.
