Abstract
Computer simulation results are used to calculate velocities for electron avalanches and anode-directed streamers, and a representative volt-ampere characteristic for parallel plane, nitrogen-filled gaps. The simulation includes space-charge effects, electron-neutral gas molecule collisions, and electron production by gas photoionization.
