  • Abstract
    This paper concerns discharge development in low-pressure N2 , with emphasis on the theoretical treatment when the geometrical field-conditions are nonuniform. While this is an extrapolation in the context of what is known as the pulsed-Townsend theory (swarm formalism), it also offers insight into the effects on waveforms due to space-charge development. The experimental context was specified by varying the intensity of the initial amount of photo-released electrons at the cathode
