摘要
Using our recently proposed method, we have identified three modes of runaway electron generation. This method is based on the recording of a dynamic displacement current using a current collector. It makes it possible to unambiguously interpret the dynamics of ionization processes occurring at the stage of formation of a high-voltage nanosecond discharge in a strongly inhomogeneous electric field and dense gaseous media. Simultaneous and separate recording by the current collector of a runaway electron beam current and the dynamic displacement current as well as the recording of discharge characteristics and high-speed framing of plasma glow at the breakdown stage made it possible to interpret the runaway electron generation modes in terms of the rate of ionization processes. It has been shown how the reduced electric field strength, the gas kind, the design and material of a high-voltage cathode with a small radius of curvature, the amplitude and rise time of a voltage pulse as well as the delay in the onset of the explosive emission process at the cathode affect the implementation of one or another generation mode.
