Comparison of non-transformed and Abel-transformed profiles of the excited Ar∗ states at time t6. Due to their size, the data are saved in binary hdf5 file. The file can be opened using any program that supports opening hdf5 files, such as HDF Viewer, Origin Pro, Matlab, or various libraries in python. The data are stored as a three-column form table in which the radial position in the first column is varied for each axial position in the second column, whereas the third and the fourth column contain the number density of Ar* and Abel-transformed profile, respectively.
