contents In this work we report the results of imaging and spectroscopic measurements of optical emission spectrum of negative nanosecond-pulsed cryogenic discharge in liquid nitrogen. With the application of lower electric fields, the discharge first ignites as a 'faint glow' around the high voltage needle electrode, while when the applied electric field reaches transition value of around 5 MV cm-1, the discharge mode switches to negative in-liquid streamer. Optical emission spectrum of the discharge is populated by the molecular nitrogen emission bands, and their analysis shows that the pressures and temperatures of the negative streamers in liquid nitrogen are at least of few tens of atmospheres and around 140-150 K. The results of the study demonstrate similarity of positive and negative streamers in the cryogenic in-liquid plasma conditions.
