A two‐dimensional self consistent model of the Beam‐Plasma‐Discharge (BPD) has been developed to calculate the discharge ignition of a bandlike electron beam in a discharge chamber. The discharge was considered in Argon with an initial concentration of 10 14 cm −3 . The model allows calculation of the time evolution of perpendicular profiles of electron density, temperature and the potential.
