We present and analyze characteristics of the runaway electron flow in a high-voltage (the
voltage rise rate of up to 1.5 MV/ns) air-filled electrode gap with a strongly nonuniform …

This letter reports new results on the formation of a paraxial flow of runaway electrons
emitted in an elongated air gap near the tip of a conical steel cathode. In the axial magnetic …

High-voltage picosecond breakdown of an atmospheric-pressure air-filled coaxial line in the
radial electric field of a propagating transverse electromagnetic wave has been studied both …

Atmospheric-pressure gas discharge driven by high voltage pulses with fast rise-time and
