    "abstract": "Streamers often constitute the first stage of dielectric breakdown in strong\nelectric fields: a nonlinear ionization wave transforms a non-ionized medium\ninto a weakly ionized nonequilibrium plasma. New understanding of this old\nphenomenon can be gained through modern concepts of (interfacial) pattern\nformation. As a first step towards an effective interface description, we\ndetermine the front width, solve the selection problem for planar fronts and\ncalculate their properties. Our results are in good agreement with many\nfeatures of recent three-dimensional numerical simulations.",
