Description

Recent data on ionizing radiation in discharges in dry and moist air are analysed. It is shown that an account of both quenching of radiating states and absorption of ionizing radiation by water molecules allows one to explain these data in the framework of a commonly accepted model that is widely used for streamer simulations
