Could some one point me towards a download for the paper you all seem to be referencing?   I have been unable to locate a download. Unless that's how its supposed to be?  Is this a legit book and not just a paper?

There's a potential interaction with resonant frequency here..

You want the first rise to be fast, so that you can get the spark started, but then, you want a long duration, so that current can be flowing into the spark with enough voltage on the top load to support the growing streamer length (so that the voltage at the *end* of the streamer is high enough to keep it above breakdown)

So that pushes for a coupling where the "time" from start to first notch is long, but the resonant frequency is high.. I think.. not sure.
