Too bad about the helium ;)The charecteristic we want is for the plasma to be very exact about when it is and is not a plasma. It must de-excite as rapidly as possible.
I am not sure but I'd suspect that would work better at higher rather than lower pressures? We want a sudden collapse not a slow fade. It seems like you are well suited, just start of with charging the capacitor to a low voltage to be on the safe side.
