Abstract
A new quasi-one-dimensional model for a negative corona in air is form ulated allowing for the quantitative description of the mechanism of T richel-pulse formation. Detailed analysis of the processes controlling pulse dynamics is made. Comparison with experiment for a short-gap co rona demonstrates a reasonable agreement with the shape of the pulse a nd in the average characteristics of the negative corona.
