Electric discharge mechanism of failure of solid dielectrics under proton radiation

The interest in the electric discharge mechanism of failure of solid dielectrics under the effect of the beams of accelerated particles (electrons, protons, neutral atoms of hydrogen) is associated with the service of insulating elements in accelerators of charged particles, with the problems of application of corpuscular radiation in space, including the possible application of this effect for making wells in solid and hard rock, for example, basalt, in the construction of future inhabitable scientific stations for long stay in the exploration of the moan or asteroids
