Abstract

We report results on the influence of humidity on the propagation and the energy of a pin-to-plane nanosecond pulse discharge at atmospheric pressure. Water vapour only impacts discharges in saturated gas mixtures, for which propagation is first slowed down, but accelerates faster than usual close to the plane. Energy is unchanged
