Abstract
The spark formation time in rare-gas pulsed spark chambers was investigated as a function of the pulse voltage under various conditions of electrodes, gap lengths, gases, delay times, and clearing fields. An explanation of these formation times was found in terms of a simple process of electron multiplication leading to rapid gas breakdown. Notes on the construction of a thin foil spark chamber and on thyratron pulsers for use with spark chambers are also given.
