The Advanced Study Institute on Breakdown and Discharges in Gases
was held in Les Arcs, France, June 28 to July 10, 1981. The object
of the Institute was to provide a broad but compre hensive
presentation of the various topics in the field of Gaseous
electronics. To achieve this goal, a number of lectures, seminars,
and panel discussions were scheduled. Each topic was developed by
two tutorial and/or review lectures, and brought to the present
state of the topic by seminars and panel discussions. The program
of topics and speakers was selected with the assistance of the
advisory committee composed of: J. A. Rees, European Coordinator,
England; M. Goldman, French Coordinator, France; A. H. Guenther,
USA; M. Kristiansen, USA; and A. V. Phelps, USA. The most memorable
aspect of the Institute was the sustained high interest of the
faculty and participants for the two week period. The daily
schedule was demanding: five hours of lectures, two hours of
seminars and one of discussion. These sessions were often extended
because of presentation by the participants of im proptu seminars.
The discussions were intense. Majestic }10nt Blanc provided the
backdrop for the lecture hall, and these surroundings and the
weather contributed to the overall positive mood. It was a
wonderful occasion. The lectures and seminars have been collected
into two volumes."
This volume contains the lectures and seminars on Coronas, Gas
Discharges, Diagnostics, Plasma Chemistry, and Applications pre
sented at the Advanced Study Institute on Breakdown and Discharges
in Gases. The Institute was held in Les Arcs, France, during June
28 to July 10, 1981. The first volume has been devoted to the areas
of Basic Discharge Processes, Kinetic Theory and Gas Break down.
This collection is both tutorial and representative of the state of
the field. We hope it will be useful both to beginners and
experienced researchers. We are grateful to a number of
organizations for providing financial assistance. The Scientific
Affiars Division of NATO provided the major contribution for the
Institute. The Office of Naval Research, the Naval Surface Weapons
Center at Dahlgren, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research and
the Air Force Weapons Laboratory provided additional support. The
National Science Foun dation financed the travel of one student. We
would like to acknowledge the many people who helped us organize
and carry the Institute to its successful completion."
