Electron distribution function in experiments with intensive beam-plasma interaction is usually non-Maxwellian with high-energy tail. Details of such distribution function can clarify physics of the beam-plasma interaction process. The paper presents new experimental data from Thomson scattering measurements at GOL-3.
