Generation mode of runaway electron beams with high amplitude in atmospheric pressure air

The results of experimental studies of various generation modes of runaway electron beams (RAEBs) are presented. The main attention is paid to the mode when the RAEB with the highest amplitude are generated in air at atmospheric pressure. Other modes are discussed too: the most implemented and often mentioned by other authors generation mode as well as the mode when RAEB is generated after breakdown.
