Abstract

The arc voltage in high power hydrogen thyratrons has been measured, under a variety of pulse and DC conditions. The valve is found to be higher under pulse conditions than under DC conditions. An explanation, similar to that invoked by Sugawara and Gregory in a different situation, is found to give some agreement with the experimental results. This explanation depends on the relaxation properties of the electrons and ions in an electrical discharge or plasma.
