Conclusion
The measurements presented in this paper show that in our experimental conditions, in the flowing afterglow plasma generated by the D.C. plasma source the electron distribution function is not Maxwellian in the whole energetic region. In our experimental conditions it is not possible to use the electron temperature in the sense of the Maxwellian temperature.
