Time domain simulations of preliminary breakdown pulses in natural lightning
B. E. Carlson, C. Liang, P. Bitzer +1
Lightning discharge is a complicated process with relevant physical scales spanning many orders of magnitude. In an effort to understand the electrodynamics of lightning and connec…
Modeling the relativistic runaway electron avalanche and the feedback mechanism with GEANT4
Alexander Broberg Skeltved, Nikolai Østgaard, Brant Carlson +2
This paper presents the first study that uses the GEometry ANd Tracking 4 (GEANT4) toolkit to do quantitative comparisons with other modelling results related to the production of…
Meter-scale spark X-ray spectrumstatistics
B. E. Carlson, N. Østgaard, P. Kochkin +5
X-ray emission by sparks implies bremsstrahlung from a population of energetic electrons, but the details of this process remain a mystery. We present detailed statistical analysis…
Relativistic electrons from sparks in the laboratory
N. Østgaard, B. E. Carlson, R. S. Nisi +7
Discharge experiments were carried out at the Eindhoven University of Technology in 2013. The experimental setup was designed to search for electrons produced in meter-scale sparks…
