  • Abstract
    Subnanosecond breakdown of low-pressure gaseous spark gaps has been investigated by using a combined modeling of the volume discharge in gas and the electron emission at the electrodes. Simulation results predict minimum breakdown delays of about 400 ps for the geometries considered in this paper. These results are in good accordance with the measurements.
