Electrically, what we are operating is a shorted out gas diode with most of the current handled by electrons. It is sort of like a neon bulb. ionic production is a minor current carrier.
It operates at the ragged edge of conduction in a non-linear region and from run to run, (depending on operating pressure), the device behaves slightly differently based on where it is on the operating curve.
