Abstract

Nonlocality in the mechanism of the ionization nonlinearity in stationary surface–wave sustained discharges is considered. It is shown that axial diffusion combined with charged particle flux from the region of the wave launcher governs the maintenance of the discharge in the vicinity of the launcher and may be responsible for the complicated behaviour of the discharge characteristics in the beginning of a plasma column.
