Zum Charakter der teilkorrelierten Fluktuationserscheinungen in Argon-Niederdruck-Schwachstrom-Säulen im transversalen Magnetfeld

The elementary theory of ionization waves, given by Pekárek, is modified to include the influence of a magnetic field. The resulting dispersion ralation delivers an interpretation of the wave phenomena in argon low-pressure low-current columns under the influence of a local transversal field. The suppresion of ionization waves by weak magnetic fields as well as the excitation of wave-packet-like fluctuations in the case of strong magnetic fields can be shown.
