Runaway Electron Generation by Decelerating Streamers in Inhomogeneous Atmosphere
Andrey Starikovskiy, Nickolay Aleksandrov, Mikhail Shneider
The dynamics of positive and negative streamers is numerically simulated in atmospheric pressure air. It is shown that positive and negative streamers behave in radically different…
Cavitation model of the initial stage of Big Bang
Mikhail N. Shneider, Mikhail Pekker
In this paper, we propose a model for the initial stage of the development of the Universe, analogous to cavitation in a liquid in a negative pressure field. It is assumed that at…
Critical Need for a National Initiative in Low Temperature Plasma Research
Philip Efthimion, Igor Kaganovich, Yevgeny Raitses +4
In the white paper we describe a national program in Low Temperature Plasma (LTP). The program should take advantage of the research opportunities of 3 rapidly growing areas (nanom…
Predicted response of an atom to a short burst of electro-magnetic radiation
V. V. Semak, M. N. Shneider
In this work we present a hypothesis that spectral response of atoms or molecules to a pulse of electromagnetic radiation with fast rising or falling fronts would contain a unique…
Sub-barrier cavitation regime in liquid helium
Mikhail Pekker, Mikhail N. Shneider
In this paper, on the basis of the model Schrödinger equation, we consider the tunneling mechanism of cavitation in liquid helium and obtain threshold values of negative pressure a…
