The possibility of plasma jet creation by irradiating different laser targets made of conically shaped thin foils was investigated at the PALS facility. The experiments have shown that both the direct and indirect methods of plasma jet creation based on collapse of a thin conically shaped foil are rather promising, they require, however, careful fitting of the targets to the target irradiation parameters. This is particularly the case of the double target with a pressure cavity.
