Abstract :
The calculation of dependence of discharge switch voltage via pd parameter, that takes into account secondary electron emission (SEE) from the anode, was performed. The modelling of electron avalanche propagation was performed by means of the Monte-Carlo method and proved theoretical calculations. It was proved that discharge switching voltage is greater for anodes with smaller SEE. It is stated that this effect works only in the left part of the Paschen curve
