Abstract :
An untraditional mechanism of the bulk dense plasma creation in pseudospark discharge, which allows explanation of the main peculiarities concerned with its appearance, is proposed. This mechanism is based on the plasma-beam heating of the plasma electrons through the plasma waves, which are excited by electron beam, and ionization of the gas filling atoms by these hot electrons
