  • Abstract
    The NASCAP/LEO code is used to simulate measurements taken at Jet Propulsion Laboratory of potentials near a simulated pinhole. The insulator near the high-voltage pinhole obeys an electric field boundary condition resulting from secondary electron hopping conductivity. The code predictions are in good agreement with the measurements.
