Jun 5, 2018 at 23:00 | comment | added | Emilio Pisanty | Nope, that's a separate effect - sequential or semi-sequential multiphoton ionization, which can happily run on low-pressure gases that are too rarefied to support avalanches. To see the details of the mechanism you refer to, the answer to refer to is a previous answer of mine, the final link in my answer here. | |
