Abstract :
Summary form only given. It has been found that an injection of water vapor into the discharge leads first to cooling of the plasma generated. At the relative humidity of air of 96-97% this plasma is nonequilibrium and has a temperature close to room temperature, with the electron temperature in the range 1500-2000 K. In order to understand the physical causes of the slowdown of plasma decay in human air, the measurement of electric fields in the plasma is necessary.
