• High voltage electrical discharges in the laboratory 

      Grøndahl, Øystein (Master thesis, 2014-12-18)
      A new phenomenon called terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) was discovered early in the 1990s by the NASA satellite Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory. The short-duration bursts of highly energetic gamma-rays are caused by ...
    • Meter-scale spark X-ray spectrum statistics 

      Carlson, Brant Edward; Østgaard, Nikolai; Kochkin, Pavlo; Grøndahl, Øystein; Nisi, Ragnhild Schrøder; Weber, Kristian; Scherrer, Zack; LeCaptain, Kristian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-11-13)
      X-ray emission by sparks implies bremsstrahlung from a population of energetic electrons, but the details of this process remain a mystery. We present detailed statistical analysis of X-ray spectra detected by multiple ...
