摘要：

We present and analyze characteristics of the runaway electron flow in a high-voltage (the voltage rise rate of up to 1.5 MV/ns) air-filled electrode gap with a strongly nonuniform electric field. It is demonstrated that such a flow contains a high-energy electron component of duration not more than 10 ps. According to numerical simulations, runaway electron generation/termination is governed by impact ionization of the gas near the cathode and switching on/off a critical (sufficient for electrons to run away) electric field at the boundary of the expanding cathode plasma. The corresponding characteristic time estimated to be 2-3 ps is defined by the ionization rate at a critical field. Published under license by AIP Publishing.
