	abstract = {The purpose of this paper is to mimic, using the Monte Carlo Simulation, the electron avalanche growth by tracking individual paths of charged particles; the effect of space charge is included by solving the Poisson equation. An electronic avalanche is produced, when an electric field, sufficiently intense, is applied to a gas. At some stage of formation of free electrons and ions; the electronic avalanche becomes a conductor channel, and then self sustainment of the discharge. The simulation is carried out in O2 gas for two different pressures, under the effect of uniform electrical fields. The streamer breakdown criterion for the different applied uniform fields is examined. },
