Abstract: A method for processing the results of probe experiments is developed for systems where a jet of rarefied plasma moves through a rarefied background plasma with comparable levels of charged particle concentrations in the jet and background. Results of a probe experiment with a submerged rarefied jet plasma efflux from a stationary plasma thruster are presented.
