Abstract
Recently there has been a need to develop an improved basic understanding of the physical processes in high-power thyratrons. This is based on the current need for significant development in thyratron switch technology beyond the state of the art in the 1940s. In addition, understanding of fundamental processes important in thyratron operation has improved only marginally since that time. Thus, the physical theory on which switch design might be based is somewhat dated.
