Abstract

The fundamental processes of streamer propagation in the streamer chamber after external voltage termination are considered on the basis of a plasma-waveguide model of gas electric breakdown. The model analyses the time dependence of streamer radiation under the mentioned conditions. The velocity and time scales of the process have been defined, and the electron density is estimated in the plasma waveguide formed before the external voltage termination. Earlier shortcomings of theories of this phenomenon are corrected.
