  • Abstract
    Results of an experimental study of positive glow corona in nitrogen-oxygen mixtures under quasi-uniform fields are presented. Measurements of electrical and optical characteristics of the corona were preformed. Both average and time resolved measurements were performed. Measurements of the electrical fields at the electrodes were made during the existence of corona. A theoretical model based upon available initiation by photodetachment of electrons from oxygen ions is proposed.
