Experimental Investigations Of Pseudospark Discharge And Pseudospark Produced Intense Electron Beams, Jing Hu

Doctoral Dissertations

"This dissertation focuses on the pseudospark discharge, a pulsed discharge discovered for the first time in 1970's. This dissertation is prepared as three journal articles in the style used by Missouri University of Science and Technology. A high voltage pseudospark discharge experiment setup, and discharge and electron beam diagnostic system are constructed and presented in this work. Three journal articles which have been published or are under review are presented in this dissertation on various topics of the pseudospark discharge.

Paper 1 "Experimental investigation of formation time in single-gap pseudospark discharge" is focused on experimental investigations of the time-dependent characteristics …
