Plasma activated deionized water from a hot arc 150 W PAW synthesizer has been analyzed for nitrite, nitrate and peroxide densities. Observed nitrite and nitrate levels are impressive, reaching several millimoles per liter at few hundred kiloJoules per liter energy input. Nitrate levels appear positively influenced by the applied energy density, together with a less pronounced increase in nitrite levels and limiting energy density for maximum peroxide levels. Active PAW cooling during synthesis appears to be essential for obtaining relevant peroxide levels and connected PAW activity. In addition to established laboratory diagnostics, alternative low access tools have been investigated for applicability of PAW characterization in offlab situations. Although no unique parameter exists to properly represent PAW activity, pH, oxidizing-reduction potential and electrical conductivity provide important insight, together with aqueous phase nitrite absorption spectrometry. Finally, classic acid-base titration has been applied to find access to the complex mixture of acidic reactive nitrogen species.

Abstract-In this paper, we present a large-bandwidth, highcurrent and high-voltage measuring system for pulse measurements in pulsed power systems. The developed sensors can be easily calibrated, require no extensive (3D) modeling, are very compact, are inexpensive, and have a bandwidth of up to several GHz. Moreover, they can be used in any pulsed power system where a pulse source is connected to its load by a coaxial cable (without disturbing the coaxial geometry).We developed this sensor system for use with our nanosecond pulse source system. The type of sensors we used are Ddot and B-dot sensors, which are compactly mounted on the coaxial cable that connects our nanosecond pulse source to its load. This enables us to measure the characteristics of each sensor very precisely with a vector network analyzer. With these characteristics -combined with the characteristics of the measuring cable assembly -we can numerically reconstruct the voltage and current waveforms that passed the sensor positions. Our calibration approach, the mounting on the coaxial cable and the post-processing of the results make these sensors very flexible. While we use the sensors for energy measurements, camera triggering and the general measurement of the pulses, other researchers can use these type of sensors as well in any system where a (coaxial) cable connects a pulse source to its load.

We use (sub)nanosecond high-voltage pulses to generate streamers in atmospheric-pressure air in a wire-cylinder reactor. We study the effect of reactor length, pulse duration, pulse amplitude, pulse polarity, and pulse rise time on the streamer development, specifically on the streamer distribution in the reactor to relate it to plasma-processing results. We use ICCD imaging with a fully automated setup that can image the streamers in the entire corona-plasma reactor. From the images, we calculate streamer lengths and velocities. We also develop a circuit simulation model of the reactor to support the analysis of the streamer development. The results show how the propagation of the high-voltage pulse through the reactor determines the streamer development. As the pulse travels through the reactor, it generates streamers and attenuates and disperses. At the end of the reactor, it reflects and adds to itself. The local voltage on the wire together with the voltage rise time determine the streamer velocities, and the pulse duration the consequent maximal streamer length.Spatiotemporally resolved imaging of streamer discharges in air generated in a wire-cylinder reactor with (sub
Streamer discharges generated by nanosecond high-voltage pulses have gained attraction for a variety of reasons, but mainly because they are very efficient for a number of plasma-processing applications. More specifically, researchers have noted that the pulse duration and the rise time of the applied high-voltage pulse have a significant influence on the radical yield of the transient plasmas generated with these pulses; shorter pulses result in higher yields. With the need to study transient plasmas generated by these short pulses comes the need to understand how to generate those pulses and to understand the interaction between the pulse source and the discharge. In this topical review, we will explore the different methods with which to generate nanosecond highvoltage pulses, how the interaction between the pulse source and the discharge may influence the source and the discharge and how to optimize the energy transfer from the pulse source to the discharge.
