The behaviour of positive streamers in air is
studied in a rather homogeneous field created by
a short plane-protrusion gap in air. Branching is
observed to be quite limited, the velocity of the
streamers increases with travel distance and
“late” streamers are observed. The interaction of
streamer heads can be interpreted as electrostatic
repulsion, while “late” streamers seem to be
attracted by the streamer channels, indicating a
net negative charge of the channels.
