  • Abstract
    This paper reviews various methods used to simulate avalanche growth due to electron multiplication in gases in uniform electric fields. The Monte Carlo simulation method and the Boltzmann equation methods are considered and data in sulfur hexafluoride are summarized in view of its use in engineering applications
