Abstract
A solution for the Boltzmann transport equation is presented, which allows us to predict high-frequency gas discharge breakdown fields in gases with constant collision frequency of the electron. Theoretical values are in good agreement with the experimental data. This is used to justify the use of our distribution function for determining the average electron energy and the various power losses of an electron in a discharge as a function of .
