Abstract
Experimental measurements have been performed of the velocity of ioniz ation wave and the plasma-absorbed energy in a discharge tube 42 cm lo ng in the gas pressure range of 30-750 torr with the: amplitude of hig h-voltage pulse of 120 kV and pulse duration of 40 ns. Given the ioniz ation wave velocity of 4 to 6 cm/ns, the specific energy contribution to gas reaches values of 1-2 J/cm(3). It has been found that the ioniz ation wave velocity and energy contribution to gas mixtures are higher than in the case of pure helium for all investigated pressures.
