Lecture

Plasma Physics: Breakdown Phenomena

Description

This lecture covers the breakdown phenomena in low-pressure gases, focusing on Townsend's breakdown criterion, Paschen's law for DC breakdown between parallel plates, and numerical simulations for breakdown in arbitrary geometry. It also discusses the experimental proof of separate zones for vacuum breakdown and gas breakdown, as well as the factors influencing breakdown measurements in real applications.
