Pointlike plasma bullets have been reported in
atmospheric plasma jets below 50 kHz. This paper presents 10-ns
images of both pointlike and striplike plasma bullets generated at
frequencies between 80 and 394 kHz. The striplike plasma bullets
are always present, whereas the pointlike ones are suppressed at
sufficiently high frequencies. Abel-converted images show that the
pointlike plasma bullets have a long tail of 4.5 cm extended to the
anode region.
