Abstract :
Ignition of a discharge in liquid heptane is studied by a nanosecond time-resolved imaging using microgap conditions. Using an optical filter at 656 nm, we could enhance the spatial distribution of electrons within the interelectrode gap. Intense and multiple space charges are evidenced.
