Abstract
It is experimentally demonstrated that the electron energy distribution function (EEDF) and electron density in plasma of a little-studied pulse discharge of a unipolar gas breakdown (UGB) significantly vary in time. The revealed behavior of its plasma parameters is explained based on the proposed physical model of a UGB discharge.
