Abstract
We represent first detailed high-speed photographic observations of the long laboratory spark development process in our laboratory. Pictures obtained simultaneously with voltage, currents and X-rays measurements. Earlier, we showed that near-cathode area are responsible for X-ray generation during discharge development. Signal from X-ray detectors was registered in a good coincidence with high frequency cathode current oscillations in case of positive and jumps in case of
negative discharges. Also, we obtained spectra of the X-ray emission. On this base, we made several assumption concerning the energy composition and nature of the X-rays, emitted from the long laboratory sparks and atmospheric discharges at all. In this work we used a fast Picos4 camera with exposure time down to 200ps. We obtained the pictures of near-cathode area and full-length sparks up to 1.5 meter. Pictures of positive and negative corona, streamer/leader processes and other poorly
investigated phenomena are represented.
