  • Abstract
    A method is developed for computing the positive discharge onset voltags for air gaps at high pressures. There is a critical pressure above which field emission from the cathode surface plays a significant role. The computed values are in close agreement with those measured experimentally for both uniform and nonuniform field gaps.
