Abstract: 

Self-excitation of the electric field oscillation has been investigated in the low pressure gas discharge plasma surrounded by а metallic screen. There have been examined non-local bifurcations of the limit cycle, which cortesponds to the self-pulsed gas discharge mode. There have been reconstructed instantaneous distributions of the electric field potential along the plasma channel. It was observed a solitary ionization front with a strong electric field that propagated to the anode from the cathode. The ‘jonization front appeared as а result of the non-uniform self-oscillation with large amplitude.
