“…Examples for radial breakdown (cf. [23]) show ri-values varying between 300 and 50 ps at pressures below 20 torr, and are in the range of 180±30 ps for higher pressures. With axial breakdown (which means a factor of four faster gap capacitance charging than for radial breakdown), this time constant is by about a factor of 3 smaller, cf.…”

“…incident and reflected voltage on the input side, and transmitted voltage at the output side, allow the determination of gap voltage and gap conduction current, and especially their temporal correlation [23,24]. The accuracy of this determination is limited by noise following the main pulse from the RADAN, and by reflections on the transmission lines, especially at feedthroughs, used in the second-phase setup with standard transmission lines.…”

Results of investigations of the generation of subnanosecond runaway electron beams and x radiation in gas diodes at elevated pressures are presented. The energy distributions of runaway electron beams generated in air at atmospheric pressure and the amplitude and duration of beam current pulses downstream of the foil have been measured, and also the mechanism of generation of a runaway electron beam has been analyzed. To record the beam current pulses, a collector which provided ~50-ps time resolution and a Tektronix TDS6604 real-time oscilloscope were used in the experiment. It has been shown that the new experimental data and model predictions confirm in the main the results earlier obtained at the Institute of High Current Electronics of the Russian Academy of Sciences Siberian Division. Evidence is cited that the key statements of L. P. Babich are erroneous.
