The computation of the growth of a gaseous discharge in space-charge distored fields

Title of program: SPARK71
Catalogue Id: ABUD_v1_0

Nature of problem
SPARK71 computes the growth of ionization currents flowing between parallel plane electrodes. The effects which are incorporated are primary ionization, secondary cathode emission due to the incidence of photons and ions, space-charge distortion of the applied field, and the properties of the external electrical circuit.
