The parameters of a secondary plasma, generated in a gas cell by charge exchange of a hydrogen ion beam, extracted from a plasma source, are investigated. Measurements show that secondary plasma parameters change considerably along the gas cell. Near the source, the plasma density is about 5 . 10$sup 10$ cm$sup - 3$, electron temperature is about 1 eV, and plasma potential is about 4 V. Toward the end of the cell plasma density decreases considerably, electron temperature increases to 7 + 8 eV, and plasma potential increases to 60 V. (auth)
