Radial current distribution along the ionization wave propagating in a long dielectric capillary tube filled with a low-pressure helium

Abstract The experimental results on the study of the ionization wave propagating along a long capillary tube are presented. The ionization wave was initiated by high-voltage pulse of positive or negative polarity. The propagation of this surface ionization wave precedes and influences the establish...

Summary:Abstract The experimental results on the study of the ionization wave propagating along a long capillary tube are presented. The ionization wave was initiated by high-voltage pulse of positive or negative polarity. The propagation of this surface ionization wave precedes and influences the establishment of complete electric breakdown within the tube. The spreading of this wave is accompanied by the surface charge deposition. The usage of the fine-sectioned outer electrode allows one to find out the general features of the ionization waves.
