This paper discusses the mechanisms of gas breakdown at low values of pressure and inter-
electrode gap, ie in the vicinity of the Paschen minimum. In this area of pressure and inter …

Operating experience shows that residual DC voltage remains in GIS bus bar for a long time
after opening of disconnectors. This DC voltage will not only cause accumulation of charges …

Except for quantum mechanical phenomena, physical phenomena are not prone to sudden
and abrupt changes. In this paper, the transition mechanism from the electric discharge gas …

The paper considers the time of thermoionization of the spark channel during gas
breakdown in the vicinity of Paschen minimum. For the purposes of measuring the time of …

In nuclear physics experiments, it is very important to isolate the measured quantities from
electromagnetic noise. Without this possibility, it is impossible to obtain usable experimental …

GM counters are often used in radiation detection since they generate a strong signal which
can be easily detected. The working principal of a GM counter is based on the interaction of …

The paper presents the results of testing the Geiger-Muller chamber cathode radii on the GM
counters characteristics. The influence of the cathode radius is tested on: 1-the GM counter …

The paper has proposed a new triggering method for long spark gap based on capillary
plasma ejection and conducted the experimental verification under the extremely low …

A mathematical model was proposed to calculate the breakdown time based on the
theoretical analysis of the discharging mechanism for three-electrode trigatron switch with …

The paper discusses statistical methods that can be applied when constructing the Geiger–
Muller counters to obtain the same response to radiation, regardless of their dimensions …
