Abstract
A pulsed freely localized resonant streamer microwave discharge in air and high-pressure hydrogen in the field of a linearly polarized standing electromagnetic wave in a two-mirror open cavity is investigated. The observed characteristic features of the discharge are treated as consequences of the sausage and wriggle instabilities of the plasma channel with a longitudinal microwave current contracted by its magnetic self-field.
