摘要：

The full kinetic theory of runaway breakdown for electrons at high energy range is developed. The theory takes into account both ionization and bremsstrahlung processes. The electron-positron pairs generation is studied. The possibility to observe e(+)e(-) annihilation line during intensive discharges in atmosphere is predicted.
