TOWNSEND IONIZATION COEFFICIENT

Specialty Definition: TOWNSEND IONIZATION COEFFICIENT

DomainDefinition

Aerospace

The average number of ionizing collisions an electron will make in drifting a unit distance in the direction of the applied electric force. These coefficients were first measured by Townsend and at present they are well tabulated for most gases. A typical value for the coefficient is one pair per centimeter at a pressure of 1 millimeter of mercury and a field strength of 100 volts per centimeter. (references)
