Evolution of perturbations in a high-pressure non-self-sustaining discharge

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

An experimental and numerical investigation is conducted of the evolution of perturbations, which are excited in a non-self-sustaining discharge, which is controlled by an electron beam at pressures close to atmospheric in various gases and gas mixtures. The perturbations were generated by the discharge itself or with the aid of a specifically introduced external source. As a result, spatially inhomogeneous structures arise, which are oriented along or transverse to the electric field and which degrade the optical properties of the active medium created by the discharge.
