Abstract
The distribution function of plasma particles as a function of coordinates and energies (velocities) is a basis for plasma description as a nonequilibrium system. The Debye-Hückel radius and plasma frequency are basic plasma parameters. Transport phenomena in a weakly ionized nonuniform plasma and ionization equilibrium through the processes of formation and decay of charged particles in a plasma are analyzed. Some parameters are represented which are of interest for a helium and argon gas discharge plasma.
