Abstract

A SSVD can be established in a gas by creating primary electrons the density of which should exceed a certain minimum value nmin throughout the discharge gap. Various methods for preionization of a gas in the discharge gap have been developed for this purpose. Primary electrons are created by these methods directly in the discharge gap , which sometimes causes difficulties in the establishment of conditions necessary for the formation of a SSVD.
