Abstract :
Experiments important to source region EMP have been performed on conductivity and electric field breakdown in air. These concern ion-ion recombination, mobility and attachment rate as a function of electric-field-to-pressure ratio, and ionization enhanced breakdown. New results are compared to previous experimental results.
