Subnanosecond high-voltage breakdown initiated in high-pressure nitrogen by a runaway electron beam

This study reports on subnanosecond breakdowns initiated on high pressure nitrogen by a runaway electron beam in an inhomogeneous electric field. It is shown that a diffuse discharge with a duration of ≥1 ns is formed in the gas diode. Data are reported for the first time on collector measurements o...
