Abstract
Experiments using a photomultiplier in the determination of the effective ionization coefficient of ambient room air stressed at very high voltages are described, and the results compared with data previously obtained by conventional current measurement techniques. Good agreement has been achieved, and the advantages of the photomultiplier method are discussed.Keywords
