title: Concentric-ring patterns in a dielectric barrier discharge system.
abstract: We report on the first experimental observation of a concentric-ring pattern in a short planar dielectric barrier gas-discharge system and study its spatiotemporal behavior. While increasing the gas pressure the destabilization of the rings into a filamentary structure is observed. The charge carriers deposited on the dielectric electrodes determine the spatiotemporal behavior of the pattern.
