Jx. Han et al., TIME CHARACTERISTICS OF A SELF-QUENCHING STREAMER IN THE COEXISTENCE REGION, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 349(2-3), 1994, pp. 495-499
Experimental studies on the time correlation between electrical signal
s in the primary avalanche and optical signals which are emitted in th
e avalanches of the limited proportional mode and the self quenching s
treamer (SQS) mode have demonstrated that there exists a weak optical
emission which is almost simultaneous with the limited proportional av
alanche, that a streamer pulse in the SQS mode has a few nanoseconds d
elay relative to the primary avalanche, and that the spread of the del
ay (FWHM) is also a few nanoseconds.
