Abstract :
This paper illustrates the pseudospark discharge under nanosecond pulsed voltages in the condition of different breakdown voltages and pressures. The plasma images presented here indicate that the length of plasma-based electron beams vary with the changes in breakdown voltages and pressures. The length increases with the increase of the breakdown voltages and the pressures in a certain range.
