Dependence of the Delay Time on the Mean Electron Seed Kinetic Energy in a Pseudospark Discharge

Compact high‐power millimetre wave sources driven by pseudospark‐sourced electron beams

“…The PS discharge goes through various complex discharge processes and depends primarily on the PS discharge configurations [24][25][26][27][28][29]. Since its discovery in 1978, efforts have been made to understand the PS discharge phenomena for the generation of high density and energetic electron beams by theoretical, plasma simulation, and experimental studies [9,18,24,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. Notably, PS discharges have been studied at the University of Strathclyde since 1994 with a series of experiments conducted on beam generation and microwave and millimetre wave sources driven by PS discharges.…”
