Abstract :
For many applications of atmospheric pressure plasmas, a crucial issue is to obtain glow discharges at 300 K. We have generated such plasmas with a nanosecond repetitively pulsed method. We present experimental and simulated optical emission images of the dynamics of the formation of the glow regime at the early stages of its development.
