The time taken to reach the breakdown phase in a psuedospark discharge is shown to depend upon the mean kinetic energy of the seed electrons. The electrons are injected at the axis on the hollow cavity back wall and the initial electric field across the anode-cathode gap is insufficient to permit or enhance electronimpact ionization throughout most of the hollow cathode backspace. The investigation...
