Helium plasma stream is generated in a coaxial plasma accelerator by applying a high-power pulse derived from a 200-kJ pulsed power system (PPS). The present work aims at measuring the plasma temperature and density of helium plasma produced in a pulsed plasma accelerator (PPA). The plasma is characterized using a triple Langmuir probe (TLP) while translating it along axial direction precisely from 8 to 40 cm inside the plasma stream away from the electrode end. By varying experimental conditions, the plasma temperature and density are measured to be approximately 33 eV and 5 $\times $ 1020 m−3, respectively, and it is observed that the value of parameters decreases with the increase in the axial distance.
