The electron dynamics in a nanosecond-pulsed microdischarge in high pressure hydrogen gas is investigated space and time resolved by particle-in-cell simulations. The discharge is driven by a 10 ns voltage pulse with a peak of 1.3 kV followed by an approximately constant voltage of 300 V during 150 ns. The time resolved current, electric field, electron density, and spatio-temporal excitation rates are compared to experimental and modeling results under identical discharge conditions. Via this synergistic approach, the development of the discharge and the different phases of distinct electron dynamics are identified and understood.
