24. -1 and the parameter R with accuracy δR∼1. By more accurately calculating the electric-field distribution in the ionizing wave (see Sec. V), in principle, we can improve the accuracy of our consideration.
25. Note that in contrast to the dynamic CF in a de CF, all of the ions, regardless of where they are created, reach the cathode. Therefore, in order to determine the ion density near the cathode, one has to solve the ion continuity equation in the entire CF region.
