Coaxial Microwave Plasmas in Argon: Radial Contraction, Self-Organization and more Exotic Phenomena
E. A. D. Carbone, S. Hübner, E. M. van Veldhuizen +3
A coaxial microwave plasma setup was designed for investigation by optical and laser diagnostics. The plasma is sustained by two microwave power sources located at both ends of a c…
Time-resolved OES of nanosecond pulsed discharges in N and N/HO mixtures]{Time-resolved optical emission spectroscopy of nanosecond pulsed discharges in atmospheric pressure N and N/HO mixtures
R. M. van der Horst, T. Verreycken, E. M. van Veldhuizen +1
In this contribution, nanosecond pulsed discharges in N and N/0.9% HO at atmospheric pressure (at 300 K) are studied with time-resolved imaging, optical emission…
Streamers in air splitting into three branches
L. C. J. Heijmans, S. Nijdam, E. M. van Veldhuizen +1
We investigate the branching of positive streamers in air and present the first systematic investigation of splitting into more than two branches. We study discharges in 100 mbar a…
Probing background ionization: Positive streamers with varying pulse repetition rate and with a radioactive admixture
S. Nijdam, G. Wormeester, E. M. van Veldhuizen +1
Positive streamers need a source of free electrons ahead of them to propagate. A streamer can supply these electrons by itself through photo-ionization, or the electrons can be pre…
Sprite discharges on Venus and Jupiter-like planets: a laboratory investigation
Daria Dubrovin, Sander Nijdam, Eddie van Veldhuizen +3
Large sprite discharges at high atmospheric altitudes have been found to be physically similar to small streamer discharges in air at sea level density. Based on this understanding…
Review of recent results on streamer discharges and discussion of their relevance for sprites and lightning
Ute Ebert, Sander Nijdam, Chao Li +3
It is by now well understood that large sprite discharges at the low air densities of the mesosphere are physically similar to small streamer discharges in air at standard temperat…
