Abstract :
This paper describes accumulation effect of charged particles using high repetition rate KrF excimer laser for the laser-triggered lightning technique. The accumulation effect was investigated by the measurement of charged particle density varying the repetition rate of the laser. The process and effect of the accumulation of charged particles were confirmed in the case of laser repetition rate of 1 kHz.
