Abstract
The electric field generated by the positive and negative space charge of a single electron avalanche moving in a homogeneous electric field is calculated. Treating the interaction of the avalanche with its own space charge field as a first order perturbation, a growth formula is obtained which differs markedly from the common TOWNSEND formula. The theoretical results fit well with experimental data on avalanche statistics reported in the literature.Keywords
