ADS and CDS Streamer Generation as Function of Pulse Parameters

Streamer plasmas can be used to remove pollutants from gases. As a result of the complex mechanisms involved during streamer initiation and propagation, the related knowledge is incomplete. During the last few years, extensive research was performed to determine typical streamer properties (such as velocity and dimensions) as a function of various pulse parameters. During the study, as presented in this paper, typical streamer velocities and diameters in the range of 10⁵-10⁶ m/s and 0.5-3.0 mm, respectively, were found.
