    Abstract: A method is described for measuring a moving property of a target. The method includes: forming a remaining plasma that at least partially coincides with an extended target region, the remaining plasma being a plasma formed from an interaction between a prior target and a prior radiation pulse in a target space; releasing a current target along a trajectory toward the target space that is at least partly overlapping the extended target region; determining one or more moving properties of the current target when the current target is within the extended target region and after a prior and adjacent target has interacted with a prior radiation pulse in the target space; and if any of the determined one or more moving properties of the current target are outside an acceptable range, then adjusting one or more characteristics of a radiation pulse directed toward the target space.
