Abstract
The evolution from regular to fully irregular motion of the s′ variety of an ionization wave in neon is studied by space correlation measurements. The correlation functions clearly indicate the onset of strongly nonlinear interaction (by a change in the decay constant of correlation function) in the region of coherent wave motion, the transition to irregular wave motion (short distance correlation only) and the stochastic character of fully developed irregular wave motion (correlation only over a few wavelengths and a few periods).
