We present the results of studies of the plasma source based on the coaxial accelerator with the slothole channel geometry for plasma acceleration and working gas inlet into the accelerator via the electrodynamic valve. The plasma parameters at the output of the accelerator are measured. The slot-hole channel of the accelerator created higher jet pressure, as compared to the coaxial channel, especially at large distances from the source. The jet pressure reached 10 6 N/m 2 at a distance of 0.7 m. The source created moderately pure plasma for a current below 80 kA. The density was (2.5–5) × 10 22 m –3 , which was higher than the density obtained with the coaxial gun.
