Abstract

In this letter, the streamer propagation in the atmospheric pressure helium plasma jet with a floating electrode nozzle driven by the kHz AC power supply is investigated. The current signal induced by the space charges and the mean propagation velocity of the guided ionization waves are measured by the capacitive probe method in the discharge region. The space charges in the guided ionization waves are found to increase with the applied voltage, which enhances both the electric field near the streamer head and the propagation velocity. The applicability of the streamer mechanism to the propagation of the guided ionization waves is validated by this electrical diagnostic method.
