Calculation of streamer development in MPGDs in an axisymmetric ... The anode-directed (negative) streamer propagates in the direction of the drift of fast electrons and usually is not important for the subsequet discharge. The positive streamer is very important for the subsequent discharge development since at its arrival to the cathode it creates the cathode spot similar to the cathode region of a glow discharge. Such cathode spot can be very quickly be transferred in a „hot“ cathode spot of an arc discharge The positive streamer head propagates in the direction opposite to the drift of fast electrons with the speed on the order of 108 cm/s. It can be understood as the phase movement of the point of the maximum el. el. field strenght. „Seed electrons“ initiating the avalanches in the streamer head vicinity are generated by photoionization. (The drift of positive ions can be neglected on the considered time scale !)
