摘要: A numerical Monte Carlo experiment has been performed simulating the concept of a laboratory on demonstration runaway electron breakdown air at high overvoltages. The pronounced second peak picosecond runaway-electron pulse, which was observed in and interpreted as avalanche initiated by first is very slightly manifested experiment. Only initial stage can be experiment, but fraction secondary electrons too small to significantly affect development breakdown.
