title: Note: On the use of Rogowski coils as current probes for atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharges.
abstract: A wide bandwidth current probe based on a Rogowski coil was proposed to work down to the nanosecond time scale. It was then used to record the discharge current pulses that characterize the streamer regime of the plasma in a dielectric barrier discharge device. Indeed such plasmas are often made up of intermittent and highly localized structures such as streamers or microdischarges. Characteristics and performances of the probes are discussed together with a few results concerning their application to investigate dielectric barrier discharges and the temporal structure of different pulses of the electrical current.
