Abstract The radius and speed of the cylindric ionization front that expands during the application of a high-voltage pulse upon a double-plate hollow-cathode, is measured by reflection of 8 mm-microwaves. By comparing the number of transported electrons and their ionizing action, ionization by single electron collisions is shown to be impossible. In the "normal regime" below a certain voltage threshold, a pulse height variation has only an influence on the final plasma radius but not on the local speed of the cut-off surface during recombination.
