Abstract

Experimental and theoretical investigations of a breakdown of atmospheric-pressure air are performed in a strongly non-uniform electric field. Using an ICCD-camera, the dynamics of formation of streamer and diffuse discharges is studied. The data on the streamer characteristics (propagation velocity, plasma parameters, dynamics of the nitrogen emission band N2(C–B) are obtained during the breakdown development in a non-uniform electric field.
