Results are presented from experimental studies of a multipoint negative corona in an atmospheric-pressure argon flow. It is shown that a decrease in the interpoint distance, gas circulation through the discharge gap, and the adjustment of ballast resistances in the corona supply circuit allow one to stabilize the discharge and enlarge the operating range of discharge currents.
