摘要
In the past the first Townsend's ionization coefficient alpha could only be measured with Townsend discharge in gases at low pressure. After realizing Townsend discharge in some gases at atmospheric pressure by using dielectric barrier electrodes, we had developed a new method for measuring alpha coefficient at atmospheric pressure, a new optical method based on the discharge images taken with ICCD camera. With this newly developed method alpha coefficient in helium, nitrogen and air at atmospheric pressure were measured. The results were found to be in good agreement with the data obtained at lower pressure but same reduced field E/p by other groups. It seems that the value of alpha coefficient is sensitive to the purity of the working gas.
