The dynamics of debris in a buffer gas after ejection from the solid target during laser–plasma soft x-ray generation is studied. Analytical formulas for the flight range of cylindrical and spherical debris are derived using the incompressible flow theory. The validity range of the formulas and the related error margins are discussed. Finally, the flight range formula for spherical particles is extended to two times the Mach number at the expenses of a somewhat higher error margin (up to 25%).
