Abstract
It is shown that a fluid description of discharges on the right-hand branch of the Paschen curve must take into account a change in the effective secondary emission coefficient γeff of the cathode, which is related to the electron backscattering effect. Simple kinetic expressions for γeff are obtained which indicate that the effective secondary emission is determined by the initial energy of emitted electrons and by the applied field amplitude.
