The investigation of mutual interaction of plastic (CH) and copper axially symmetric plasmas is reported. In order to measure the ratio of the ablated masses of both plasmas we irradiated a plastic target with a Cu cylindrical insert of diameter 400µmwith a laser beam of radius exceeding that of the insert. In such an arrangement we were able to control the volumes and masses of interacting CH and Cu plasmas by varying the laser beam diameter. The experiment was carried out at the Prague Asterix Laser System (PALS) iodine laser.
