Avalanche to streamer transition in particle simulations

Plasma Physics 2009-11-13 v1 Computational Physics

Abstract

The avalanche to streamer transition is studied and illustrated in a particle model. The results are similar to those of fluid models. However, when super-particles are introduced, numerical artefacts become visible. This underscores the need of models that are hybrid in space.
