In this research a rapidly forming (<50 ns) self-initiating distributed plasma discharge was observed using an X-band (WR-90) microwaves. We also observed slower forming (300-400 nS) plasma breakdown with 1 kHz repeated ...

Microwave Breakdown Experiments in Ne, Ar and Penning Discharges (Abstract) In this research a rapidly forming (<50 ns) self-initiating distributed plasma discharge was observed using an X-band (WR-90) microwaves. We ...
