Title :
Session: gaseous electronics and arc technology. III. Breakdown mechanisms and gas discharge modelling
Abstract :
The following topics are dealt with: triggered breakdown in trigatrons, gas avalanche switches picosecond voltage collapse and EM wave generation, pulsed discharges in N/sub 2/, flashover of dielectric surfaces in UV illuminated environments, transient arc discharges, diffuse charge interruption in N/sub 2/ gas induced by ArF/KrF lasers, rare gas-halogen gas mixtures electron beam and heavy ion excitation.<>
