Abstract
The authors report on an experimental study of the ion energy balance of the magnetized and current-driven plasma of a hollow cathode discharge. The balance appears to be classical. At the axis of the plasma column the electron-ion Coulomb interaction is in equilibrium with the ion-neutral interaction. The authors find no significant influence on the energy balance by the spontaneously appearing plasma turbulence.
