  • Abstract
    By introducing a compensated Monte Carlo collision (MCC) model into the particle-in-cell/MCC method, the streamer initiation process in a laser-triggered gas switch is simulated with a large time step. The spatial distributions of electron density at various pressures and voltages are obtained.
