Synergetic aspects of gas-discharge: lateral patterns in dc systems with a high ohmic barrier (2014, background): “Here we mention streamers [66], the phenomenon of ball lightning [67–71] and the formation of bullets in plasma jets [72].”
Dynamics of a guided streamer (‘plasma bullet’) in a helium jet in air at atmospheric pressure (2013, background): “Some of the earlier papers (Mericam-Bourdet et al 2009, Sakiyama et al 2010) on plasma bullets suggested that Penning ionization in the zone between the helium core and the surrounding air could be critical for their propagation.”
Correlation between helium mole fraction and plasma bullet propagation in low temperature plasma jets (2010, background): “plasma jet length) can be controlled by the high voltage, pulse width or flow rate [5].”
Atmospheric pressure non-equilibrium plasma jet technology: general features, specificities and applications in surface processing of materials (2017, background): “The ionization wave fronts are typically characterized by a ring-shaped structure [4,58,137].”
