摘要：
The influence of the air, nitrogen, and argon pressure on the generation of runaway electron beams during a breakdown in an inhomogeneous electric field is studied. Data on parameters of runaway electron beams at pressures corresponding to altitudes of more than 20 km above sea level in the Earth’s atmosphere are obtained. © 2015, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
