    "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.\n  In the present long paper, you find the physics of the model and the\ninterfacial approach further explained. As a first ingredient of this approach,\nwe here analyze planar fronts, their profile and velocity. We encounter a\nselection problem, recall some knowledge about such problems and apply it to\nplanar streamer fronts. We make analytical predictions on the selected front\nprofile and velocity and confirm them numerically.\n  (abbreviated abstract)",
