This paper presents results of measurements of the electron energy distribution function (EEDF) in the range 0 - 40 eV, and the electron density and the space potential for the helium plasma of a longitudinal discharge in a hollow cathode as used for He-inert gas and He-metal vapour lasers. The results show that the EEDF and also the mean electron energy, the electron density and the plasma potential differ from those typical of the transverse hollow-cathode discharge.
