Abstract
Kinetics of electrons, ions and metastable excited atoms in the interelectrode gap of a low-current discharge in the argon-mercury mixture is simulated, and the discharge ignition voltage as a function of the temperature and the cathode ion-electron secondary emission rate is calculated. The mixture temperature dependence of the minimum value of the ion-electron secondary emission rate ensuring a given discharge ignition voltage is found.
