This paper by Handel, Carlson, and Leitner examines maser caviton ball lightning interaction spiking with cold emission, presented at the 9th International Symposium on Ball Lightning in Eindhoven. The research analyzes rapid energy fluctuations (spiking) in ball lightning resulting from nonlinear interactions between the atmospheric maser and plasma caviton, and explains observed cold electron emission from ball lightning surfaces through field emission mechanisms driven by intense electromagnetic fields at the plasma boundary.
