Abstract
The kinetic equation for the motion of ions in the intrinsic gas is solved. It is shown that the ion velocity distribution differs significantly from the equilibrium (Maxwellian) distribution. The probe method was used to study the ion velocity distribution function in a low-temperature helium plasma.
