  • Abstract
    An unintended reflection of a voltage pulse from our Blumlein pulser leads to a peculiar streamer discharge morphology. A high negative voltage pulse, followed by a lower positive voltage pulse, creates positive streamers that run over the surface of the nearly spherical previously formed negative discharge.
