IONIZATION EXPERIMENT ON AN ELECTRODELESS DISCHARGE IN A CYLINDRICAL COIL

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4796092
;
The breakdown of argon and air was studied for an electrodeless discharge in a straight cylindrical coil. No evidence cf deviations from axisymmetry of the discharge due to the coil junction was found. A luminous sheet formed in all discharges, including the ones wdth marginal voltages. Simultaneous smear pictures and oscillograms of (dB/dt) support the assumption that the luminous sheet is a current sheet. The initial breakdown was always accompanied by a sudden reduction of (dB/dt) inside the gas. (auth)
