Subject: "multipacting" = flickering??
Organization: ICGNetcom


Just a quick question: when a glow discharge is referred to as operating
in a "multipacting" mode (as pressure is reduced, just before extinction),
does this mean that the discharge is starting to cycle off and on?

Thanks for your help!
