Results of research into smoldering plasma discharge in electrolyte surrounding a metal electrode with high-frequency pumping are considered. Saline was used as a model of interaction with biological tissue. Kinetic and energy parameters of plasma and charge carriers are estimated. PlasmoTom high-fr...
