A number of authors have concluded that experimental values of prebreakdown ionization-gas-current multiplications in nonuniform electric fields are not correctly predicted by generalizing Townsend's ionization function for uniform fields to nonuniform fields. It is shown that the reported failures are mainly due to the use of incorrect values of the first Townsend ionization coefficient.
