Abstract
This paper presents the results of the studies of the subthreshold discharge propagation under the action of the focused beam of sub-terahertz CW gyrotron (1 kW@0.26 THz). The discharge propagation velocity towards electromagnetic radiation was measured in various noble gases in the wide pressure range (0.1 – 2 atm) for various field intensities into the focal spot (5-15 kW/cm2). It was demonstrated that discharge velocity increase along with pressure decrease and drops with electric field decrease as it moves away from the focal spot. Typical velocity values and discharge spatial structure suggest the so-called equilibrium mechanism of discharge propagation.
