Abstract :
We report detailed observations on self-sustained oscillations observed by varying the dynamical resistance in a Ne hollow cathode discharge. The periodicity (T) of these oscillations transform into a state with 2T irrespective of ballast resistance (Rb) at larger driving parameter values. For the intermediate values of driving parameter (4.38-5.06 mA), a window appears for Rb⩾5 kΩ. In the window regime the oscillations are chaotic and the behavior is strongly dependent on Rb
