  • Abstract
    The aim of this work is to present the contribution of the Monte Carlo Method to simulate the basic phenomena in an electrical discharge, taking into account the different processes of atomic collisions (elastic or inelastic), in the case of oxygene and in a plan-plan system. Results have been compared with modelisation results to verify the breakdown criteria. The determination of the ambient electrical field depends on distributions of charged particles; by solving the Maxwell equations we get the resulting radial field.
