Abstract

The electron distribution function over longitudinal energies in the startup plasma of the end cell of the AMBAL-M device is measured with a small-size movable electrostatic analyzer. It is found that, in the region where a substantial longitudinal current flows, the electron distribution function over longitudinal energies has a plateau in the 150–350-eV energy range.
