Transient glow discharge in nitrogen after the breakdown

The duration of transient glow discharge and the energy dissipated in the gap during the glow phase have been measured in nitrogen. These measurements were made for gaps up to 7 mm at gas pressures of 40-150 Torr by static breakdown. It is shown that the transition from glow to arc starts to develop...

Summary:The duration of transient glow discharge and the energy dissipated in the gap during the glow phase have been measured in nitrogen. These measurements were made for gaps up to 7 mm at gas pressures of 40-150 Torr by static breakdown. It is shown that the transition from glow to arc starts to develop in the discharge region near the cathode. The dependence of the glow duration on gas pressure is explained.
