A simplified model for the low pressure discharge is given, where the finite mean free path of the neutral atoms for ionization is taken into account. On this basis, the spatial distributions of the potential and of the particle densities are computed for strong ionization, and two mechanisms leading to the limitation of the current are discussed.
