“…1). Moreover, in paper [11] formative times of the order of microseconds were reported from oscilloscopic measurements; these values are assessed as much low and are rather a characteristic of the streamer than the Townsend's breakdown mechanism. In order to dissolve the evident discrepancies, new time delay and oscilloscopic measurements were performed under strictly controlled conditions with planar guarded electrodes.…”

In this paper the formative time delay in nitrogen was determined from statistically based measurements of electrical breakdown time delay. The measurements were carried out under different conditions on a newlydesigned gas tube with a plane-parallel electrode system made from copper. The avalanche growth was followed based on a simple analytical model agreeing well with the experimental data. The dependencies of the formative time delay on the working voltage and the electron yields in the interelectrode space originating from residual states were found. A developed approximate model for the formative time delay has shown fits with the experimental data better than other models discussed in the literature.

Results of the statistical analysis of the electrical breakdown time delay for neon-filled tube at 13.3 mbar are presented in this paper. Experimental distributions of the breakdown time delay were established on the basis of 200 successive and independent measurements, for different overvoltages, relaxation times and auxiliary glows. Obtained experimental distributions deviate from usual exponential distribution. Breakdown time delay distributions are numerically generated, using Monte-Carlo method, as the compositions of the two independent random variables with an exponential and a Gaussian distribution. Theoretical breakdown time delay distribution is obtained from the convolution of the exponential and Gaussian distribution. Performed analysis shows that the crucial parameter that determines the complex structure of time delay is the overvoltage and if it is of the order of few percentage, then distribution of time delay must be treated as an convolution of two random variables.

“…It was the same in each measuring cycle and its time was 3 s. This is the time needed for establishing the stationary state in the gas diode [20,21]. The value of the stationary current was i = 0.1 mA in all measuring cycles, providing the same experimental conditions in each cycle [22,23]. During the measurement, the collecting data rate was two times greater than the computer generated voltage increase rate.…”
