title = "Field enhanced microwave breakdown in a plasma limiter",
abstract = "A new type of plasma limiter is being developed which can turn on in less than 1 ns. The approach taken is to initiate streamer breakdown via a micron radius needle tip. Images were taken of the gap region in Argon at several pressures in order to investigate the role of the tip region.",
