Space Charge Effect:
The electrons are collected relatively quickly (ns) at the anode leaving behind the positive ions that move much more slowly. The positive ions form a space charge that appreciably distort the electric field and the process of electron avalanche inside the gap.
Modes of Operation
Space charge is the main factor restricting the avalanche growth
