Publisher's Synopsis
The book contains new and original information. The authors have carried out a set of original and pioneering experimental and theoretical studies on the development of breakdown of strongly overstressed gas-discharge gaps, the mechanisms of electron emission, the generation of electron beams in mediumpressure gases, and the application of these effects in electrophysical devices - in electron beam sources, in switches and high-voltage pulse generators subnanosecond and picosecond range and for their application for excitation of gas and solid-state laser media.
