Hi Bill,
If your talking about fall back time to ground state for the channel, I think Earle quotes the fall back time for N2 (I think to reach 2/3 of the way to ground state) as 6 microseconds. He was using that in context of photon being given off and the time was started as soon as the electrical forcing was removed.
I feel he meant it for a non-thermalized plasma, soft glow discharge mode.
But in your other line of thought about the x-ray, at sea level I don't think you can make it go that far.
I think it is in the 100's of feet, maybe 600? You have to go way up to get 2.2 KM.
This only comes to mind because recently there was a conference about gamma and x-rays being detected on sats above large lightning events.
It's in one of the zip files that I put a lot of these papers into in my file area, go look.
That was one way they knew the Gamma bursts and X-rays were happening way high up given the birds sensitivity (one US, One Russian) and vertical distance over T-Storms. Too low and it would never get detected because of attenuation. Density issue.
UV would have had a better chance if it had the EV
X-ray does.

Yep, but I'm talking about a miles-tall vertical "searchlight beam" which
acts as the main antenna.

Still, I'm glad to know that x-ray tubes can rectify TC output.  After
all, if the ionization decayed too slowly, then the conductive path would
stay open between pulses.  If this happened then x-ray tubes could not be
used to change 40KHz tesla coil output into 7.8Hz, and in that case we'd
have no idea how Tesla could have broadcast high power at few-Hz VLF.
