Investigations of the glow phase in high pressure spark discharges

The glow phase of high pressure spark discharges initiated by the Townsend mechanism of breakdown in hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide is studied using 16 ohm coaxial cable discharge techniques. Before the establishment of the spark channel in these low over-voltaged spark discharges, there exi...
