Abstract :
Spectral investigations of the space-time distribution of reactive impulse plasma ejected from a coaxial accelerator were carried out. A two-zone structure of the plasmoid, related to interactions between the gas plasma and the accelerator electrode, was found. The isotropization kinetics of the chemical composition of the plasmoid was determined.
