Equilibrium states of an ion-beam plasma with magnetized electrons at low pressures

Results are presented of an experimental investigation of an ion-beam plasma with magnetized electrons in the cathode channel of an ion accelerator with an anode layer. New data are reported on the spatial distributions of the local plasma parameters (plasma potential, electron temperature, electron and ion densities) as functions of the external parameters of the discharge (magnetic field strength, anode voltage, and working gas pressure) in regions with strong, nonuniform electric and magnetic fields.
